I'm tracing down an intermittent battery drain and, in the process, noticed that the push button on the gauge cluster doesn't activate the mileage display when the truck is not running. I keep mine in the garage with the driver's window down, and can reach in and push the button, but no mileage display comes on. I did have my cluster re-done with stepper motors, tranny gauge, and LED backlights, so there's that.

I know that the clusters can cause parasitic drain but mine's not doing that.

So, a question for those of you who have a '03-06 GMT800 with a standard cluster... does your button activate the mileage display if you press it while the truck is "asleep"?

I have a rebuilt Esky cluster, done the same way as yours and mine doesn't do anything when it's off either. I know you said a standard cluster, but I'm giving my .02 :D
