Dash Cluster Issues

[Blackbeard]

Today I found out my Cluster of my 07 LGT is wonky AF. I drove to work fine, omw home I notice my Tach was not working and brake icon light in the cluster and ABS light were both on. The car drove fine otherwise, then after I picked up my son at school I started it up again and notice all those lights + cruise light, SI "S" mode light flashing, and the Speedometer not working, and vdc/traction control light was on.

 

Previously I did get an occurance like this but lasted just until I started the car the next morning. I guess I'll see how she responds in the morning.

 

Sooooo do the clusters comingly go bad on LGT's?? I've only had it 2 weeks and I couldnt find much specificly about lgt's cluster issues when I searched. I'll be checking the speedo semdor tomorrow at work and go from there.

 

Thanks in advance for any insight to known issues.

 

Here is a quick video of it. https://youtu.be/jZUPiO7xqRE

Did you scan for any codes?

[Blackbeard]

thats the odd part, no cel at all .

You need a better scanner. The flashing cruise control light with the traction control light indicates an ABS code is present. Oh hey, so does the ABS light. Didn't see that at first.

[Blackbeard]

I'm getting no codes at all, ABS, DTC or Otherwise. My snap-on Modis scanner isn't the issue. I can clear abs codes and such with it.

Maybe a loose bus connection to the ABS module? Is the Modis reporting successful communications to the module?

Does ABS engage properly if you lock 'em up?

[Blackbeard]

Abs is functions properly. And comms are fine when I try to read them. Wheel sensors are all reading fine. Steering angle and G-sensor are all zero'd and calibrated. I'm leaning towards a relay not powering up, or a faulty connector not supplying ignition power to the cluster and/or causing a fault, But that leaves me curious why my air con display isn't working as well.

[08SpecB_DE]

Have you had the airbag recall done recently? I agree, it sounds like a loose connection somewhere behind the dash.

In for a ground.

[Blackbeard]

So, it ended up being a white plug covered by a black square clip above the passengers side kick panel. Once clipped securely, I started it up and boom, no issues at all. Friggin gremlins nearly got me th his time.

And this is why I won't take my car in for the Takata recall.

Chasing this issue for a buddy, Blackbeard was it this plug that caused the tach issue?
