How do I reset my GM instrument cluster?
Your 2003-2006 GM gauge cluster may very well be malfunctioning as it’s a very common problem on these years and you may be wondering how to reset it. Unfortunately there is no real way to “reset” it other than to simply unplug it and plug it back in which likely won’t fix any of the common problems that they have. It might get your needles to reset back to zero temporarily but if the gauge motor is the root problem, which it usually is, then the needle will simply act up again sooner or later.
Other common problems that they develop are dim or dead PRNDL screen, dim or dead odometer screen, odometer ERROR message, language menu constantly scrolling across the odometer screen, battery drain, total power failure that can be intermittent or permanent, can sometimes come back on by hitting the dash and can sometimes be worse during cold temperatures. Unfortunately none of these problem can be solved by resetting the instrument cluster either. These kinds of problems will require gauge cluster repair.
