Replying to: attindall (May 05, 2009 7:55 pm) Sounds like you need to have the gauge cluster replaced. The erratic gauges and speedo issues are part of the bulletin and lawsuit. If you get there before 70,000 miles they'll cover it. Between 70 and 80,000 miles, you only get the parts for free and may need to send the info in to get the credit. The lawsuit covers you from 70,000 to 80,000 miles.   I have also had the radio cut out normally on my '03. The first time the dealer put in some kind of software update. It has happened 1 or 2x since then and just seems to correct itself.   The other problems may be related to your gauge cluster, get that fixed first and before it is not covered.

The a/c, heater electronic display flashes on and off and I have no control of the temperature. The display unit has been replaced once, with the same symptoms. The condensor coil was replaced and the system re-charged when the problem started. I understand the display had to be removed in order to have access underneath the dash. Any ideas on to how to repair this would be greatly appreciated by both me and my mechanic!! Thanks, Kenneth Replies to this message: canayjun64 (May 11, 2009 7:08 am)

Replying to: kb52 (May 11, 2009 6:10 am) kb52...I had a similar issue with my 94 Concorde. It turned out to be a cold solder on the display control. By banging the display slightly, I was able to re-gain control of the temperature temporarily. It was a bit tricky to find but with the help of a magnifying glass, I was able to locate the problem and fix it.   Who knows...it might be just that. Good luck!

#315 of 357 Turn Signal/Back up Light 2007 Silverado by bob2007chevy Jul 28, 2009 (2:52 pm)
I have a new body style 2007 Silverado, quad cab. When I use my left blinker, my blinker and my back up light both blink. After a few moments, the blinker blinks very fast. I changed the bulbs. I have over the 35,000 miles on the truck. Any suggestions? Replies to this message: obyone (Jul 28, 2009 3:13 pm) seabeemax (Jul 28, 2009 6:24 pm) ffkc120 (Aug 17, 2009 3:09 pm)

Replying to: bob2007chevy (Jul 28, 2009 2:52 pm) Take it back to the dealer before your factory warranty is up. Replies to this message: seabeemax (Jul 28, 2009 6:24 pm)
