Cluster, Radio, HVAC LED Swap Polarity Info.

[2005-Z71]

I never could find this information for my truck specifically (2005) so I did it myself and figured it'd be helpful for others.

Here are a few pictures of the complete dash. Door switches and rear audio/hvac controls come next.

Looks good. Just got mine done about a month ago. I love them. Mine look a little darker blue. But very nice, just wish i knew how to do it myself. Was the radio very hard to do. I dont have that one, i have nav, but thats the only one thats not blue on mine.

it looks really good.

I haven't a clue about a navigation radio but I will say I was the most nervous about doing the radio and had the most trouble with. It's a awkward series circuit with 2 series/parallel circuits with polarities colliding. It doesn't make sense electrically but it works.

Looks awesome. I did mine about a year and a half ago. Done several other trucks since, including Mike (TahoeWhat). I know what you mean about the series wiring on the stock bulbs. Its confusing as hell!! All the 00-02 AC controls are like that, so are the 03-06 controls with the sliders. Also all overhead rear AC controls are wired like that too. Keep that in mind when you go to do your overhead AC controls.

I liked the info however does the red line indicate that the solered point on that end is the positive node?

According to his legend, yes.

Good Info!!!!

what size resistors??

what size resistors??

I use 470 ohms.

I needed the same info and was excited to find this, but I'm stumped now... This diagram shows the solder points being next to each other (Left to Right, East to West, what ever orientation you want to use) but my radio has them being North/South (Up/Down, Top/Bottom) orientation.

With that being said... I found some LED's with the resistor 'built in'. Anyone heard of that before?

Do you have polarity diagram for lights, 4WD, fog light, and air bag modules?

 

[SnowDrifter]

Thanks for posting!

Are those hot spots as bad as they appear in the pictures or are they just a camera artifact?

Would you post a link to the exact LEDs you used?

Edit wow dates are difficult

If you can get the plug on there with the thing disassembled tou should be able to check it with a multi meter.

No need for resistors. 12 volt LED cubes are available with built in resistor. There are 4 kits with the instructions and polarity diagrams for each dash module. https://www.ebay.com/str/gmgaugerepair/LED-Whole-Dash-4pc-Combo-Kits/_i.html?_storecat=7463993017

If you manage to figure out the diagram for the heated seat controls for 03-06 I would be so happy,thats the only one one i havent figured out yet

I've been told you mount 1 LED in one direction and the next LED is mounted the opposite way. So alternate them.

This kit includes the LED's with built in resistor and the polarity diagram: https://www.ebay.com/str/gmgaugerepair/LED-Left-Dash-Switches-Kits/_i.html?_storecat=5523315017

You can get the 12 volt cubes with built in resistors in 3mm cubes here: https://www.ebay.com/str/gmgaugerepair/12-volt-LED-Bulk-Sales-3-mm/_i.html?_storecat=23349650017

The 5mm for the speedo are here: https://www.ebay.com/str/gmgaugerepair/12-volt-LED-Bulk-Sales-5-mm/_i.html?_storecat=23349651017

The previous link is not working any more.
