Trilingual Cluster?

[TheBac]

Well, this is a new one....

Last week, completely out of the blue, the cluster DIC started rotating between English, French and Spanish. Mileage is still correct, all other gauges work correctly. Disconnected both batteries over night to see if that might help, no luck the next day. Anyone ever seen this before?

I once turned the display on my 02 to show kilometers. Thought it was a little to eazy to do

My brother's Suburban had the cluster do that too. First time we'd ever seen anything like it. Thought it might have been the steering wheel controls or wiring, but after swapping clusters it followed the cluster, not the vehicle.

He ended up going with a Dorman replacement that has been working fine, and they matched the miles/hours.

Take the back black cover off the cluster and clean the corrosion off the board between the terminals. You will see the buildup on top of the board when you remove the cover. I use a real fine bristle soft brass brush and some contact cleaner and it cleans right up.

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

Finally found the time to take the cluster out. Replaced it temporarily with the '04 cluster I have from the old donor truck (229, 610 miles on that truck, BTW). Good way to test that one and make sure everything works, anyways....

Took the rear off of my cluster and didnt see anything out of the ordinary, but will try to find some DeOxit and see if it fixes the problem.
