I just had some of the gauges go out on my truck. The speedo, Batt, Tach, Fuel, Oil Press. It got down to -10 below, and when I started diving these gauges had stopped working. Everything else seems to be working fine ( NO CODES showed up) Can someone shed some light on this issue. I think it might be a relay, or something like that.

Yes it did, but it was sure strange, and Yes I am at the North Pole AK. It was -20 today and getting colder.

Replying to: takerofsouls (Nov 04, 2006 5:09 pm) My 2003 3500 Dmax did the same thing last week. I took it into our hobby shop to work a separate hard starting issue and once the truck warmed up the gauges worked fine, haven't had that problem since,but the truck still doesn't want to start when it is colder than 0. I'm at Eielson and yep the great weather here is upon us.    Anyone have any thoughts? Replies to this message: jneal (Nov 13, 2006 7:10 am)

Replying to: frogger29 (Nov 12, 2006 9:01 pm) Electronics aren't designed to work in extreme climates. Extreme heat or cold will cause circuit boards or even plug-in connectors to expand or contract thereby losing continuity, usually grounding but not necessarily.   You could pull the dash and go over all the connections and plug-in components but that would probably be an exercise in futility. Best solution would be to put a small electric heater in the cab to keep a reasonable temp in the cab overnight. Then again, unless you are using a engine heater you may well have a problem with the sensors etc under the hood not working until warmed up.
#18 of 157 98 chevy dashboard lights acting strange by gtandut Dec 10, 2006 (8:10 pm)
I just can't seem to figure this one out. I have a 98 chevy. On occassion - When I turn on the headlights, the instrument panel lights go out and both blinkers light up. In addition, the high beam light comes on even though the lights are on low beam. After a few minutes of driving, the instrument panel lights come on like normal to include the blinker lights and high beam light. I am also wondering if whatever problem this is is causing battery drain. Help!
#19 of 157 2000 Chevrolet Silverado Instrument Panel goes blank by xtremekustomz Oct 22, 2006 (3:01 pm)
Anyone else had this problem? I can be driving down the road and the whoel panel will go blank. It also feels like the truck shifts down out of over drive. After a few seconds it comes back on. I have taken my battery cable off at the battery and noticed some corrosion on it so I cleaned it. Drove it and didn't have the problem today. Just curious if anyone else had this problem Replies to this message: jneal (Oct 23, 2006 5:38 am)

Replying to: xtremekustomz (Oct 22, 2006 3:01 pm) Sounds like you found and corrected the problem. Modern vehicles must have clean tight electrical connections everywhere, both +positive and -ground, or all sorts of screwy things happen. Even a weak, not dead, just a weak battery can cause problems.
