Dash stopped working!!

[Tanner90]

Recently my 2002 Yukon’s cluster recently started acting up along with the radio and climate control. The problem is the cluster has a few working gauges suck as oil press, and voltage but everything else such as the odometer and message center don’t work and the tach and speedometer are dead and my climate control and radio are dead as well . I’ve tried cleaning some main grounds and haven’t had any luck. Does anyone have any input for me? Thanks!

Did you check the fuses?

Could be at the cluster. Soldered connections crack and lose connection. I've lost PRNDL on one vehicle, backlighting and several gauges on this one.

I pulled this one apart and touched up the soldered connection and replaced bulbs and some gauges.

Could also be bad ground connections under the hood. These rigs don’t like it when this happens and cause all kinds of problems.

Yes I should have mentioned that. Poor grounds are the first thing to check whenever you have funky electrical issues.

How's your battery? Might be on its way out. Have it checked.

Hello! I checked all my fuses and and they’re fine I cleaned up a few grounds like one one the drivers side frame the main ground and a g cable that goes under the core support. My battery is only a year old So it should be good. I’ll take apart the cluster to see if the solder joints are fine as recommended. My question is has anyone experienced not having climate control, the radio and some parts of the cluster go out at the same time? And what grounds should I really clean? Thanks!
I’ll upload a photo of the dash

Have you had your battery checked yet?

No not yet sir! I’ll take it to autozone for a battery check!
