Gauge issues on '99 Tahoe

[lesterl]

Do the dash lights work?

Yes the dash lights all work including the Gauge problem light.

So dash ground is good if lights work.

If check guages light works, then power to dash is good.

You would then probably either have a bad linear motor or a bad connection between gauge and sender..... wire tracing fun fun.....

Pin 13, dark green from dash pinout to sender in left cylinder head is what you want to troubleshoot. might hit up a junkyard for a spare dash if for nothing else but the motors if the wire is good.

I checked the wire from the sensor connector to the gauge cluster. The connection is good so that means the gauge is bad.
I have purchased a Scan Gauge that shows motor temperature and I will use it for my Temp gauge.

I had the fuel pump module/level sensor replaced and now the gas gauge works. YEA!

Thanks for the help in this issue.

If can't find another Tahoe for the visors can likely use some out of a pickup truck.

Checked 2 salvage yards, all visors were missing or junk.

I found a seller on Ebay that has vinyl sunvisor skins for mine.

Someone already had the same idea for the visors. It is always a good source if they haven't been scavenged first.
