I don’t have the part number but the member who sold me the one I used to make my harness told me they’re not available anymore. Maybe you can get one from a wrecking yard or hard wire to the Escalade connector.
Hi so quick question did you have to have the escalade cluster programmed to your vin, i installed mine today all the DIC controls work and all the warning lights work but none of the guages moves and blinkers and stuff dont display on the cluster. Not sure if my wiring is off or if it needs to be programmed. Thanks

Wiring is wrong, you should not need to program it at all unless you want the mileage updated...

No, it doesn’t need to be programmed to your VIN so something must be off in your wiring. That sounds like the GMLAN low speed serial data lines which is how the BCM communicates with the cluster. There aren’t wires specific to those functions so the info must come over the local area network (GMLAN). My best guess anyway.

I was about to jump on board with this mod on my Suburban since the mileage display died recently...then I read this thread.:confused: I don't have the time to mess with trimming the bezel or pigtails or mileage correction. So i guess at this point I can look into gauge overlays, LED upgrades, new needles? Anyone know someone in Texas that rebuilds NNBS clusters?

does the oil life remaining work on your cluster or is it just dashes? i just get dashes for that and the compass zone

I never noticed but mines the same as yours. I don’t use the olm anyway and my compass works fine so the zone must be right.
