Oldsmobile Bravada Instrument Cluster Repair
Auto Tech Rescue offers instrument cluster repair to Chevy Silverados and other GM speedometers.
Chevy Silverado and other GM and Chevrolet instrument clusters have a long history of having issues with the instrument cluster. While some may just have a problem with the digital odometer display and PRNDL display, others will develop gauges that stop working, gauges that peg out or become stuck, power loss, burnt out lights, and display issues. We can repair all of these problems and offer a number of upgrade options to go along with the repairs as well. You will find a customer information form under our instructions tab that you can complete and send in with the cluster for repair. On this, please list the type of repair you prefer and any upgrades you would like to add to your Silverado cluster repair. These options are available for purchase prior to sending in the cluster as well. If you prepay, you can choose a specific repair, LED lights/color, faceplate background, pointer needles, and a transmission temp gauge if you like. Payments may be made via PayPal or credit card.

Removal Instructions
This repair service for your Oldsmobile Bravada corrects problems commonly found with the instrument cluster also known as speedometer or dash cluster. Based on the year range, we can correct a various list of problems that go wrong with the cluster.
Over time, the Bravada, as well as other GM clusters, develop problems with a faulty digital odometer display. Has your digital odometer display or PRNDL become dim and hard to read during the day or even at night? Perhaps your display has stopped working altogether. We can fix that.
Between the years of 2003-2006, the clusters will have a wider range of problems. Some may experience only one or two gauges that eventually lead to all gauges not working properly. They may be stuck in one spot or they may read incorrectly. Gauges can also “peg out” and go all the way past where they should go and stay there. Other issues might include a power loss to the entire instrument cluster as well as a dim/faulty digital display. We can fix one or all of these issues. We do recommend a full rebuild on our clusters if you plan to continue driving the vehicle for any amount of time. Frequently, if one part of the cluster starts to fail, the rest is close to follow behind.
If you have any questions regarding your instrument cluster, please feel free to contact us prior to sending the cluster in or dropping it by. We also offer LED upgrades on our clusters. This is listed under our “Instrument Cluster Upgrades.“
