Mine used to run like that till i upgraded the cooler, probably didn't need to but I'm a lot more comfortable seeing my trans temp stay below half while towing thru the Arizona desert
Yes, Balducci's Automotive pointed that out when he explained he put mine in series with the factory installation. Cooler installation aside, I think it is noteworthy this condition was sudden, not gradual. I made an appointment this afternoon with the dealer for an evaluation / repair. The cost of the checkout will be $140 or less if they can fix a minor problem. They did mention the '05 has a history of dash instrument pod assembly failure causing bad readings. I had noticed my tachometer pegged out a couple of times but reading normal now. I don't remember if the two incidents happened simultaneously or not. btw...I can't go back to Balducci's now (although I really wish I could) because I am on another side of the country now. He is in NJ and I'm in TX.
Oh! OK! So when you cluster went bad, did you lose any functionality? The engine or power didn't shutdown or anything, just no or bad readings in the cluster?thats how my cluster went bad it started with tach pegging and also 05
Caprice man I need to have my stepper motor replaced for my speedo. Tell me you live in Michigan.
----------Nothing on Craigslist in Michigan. Contacted a handful of repair facilities that I googled and they all said that they don't work on 02's. I'll keep looking. Cadillac man gave me a lead.
I read your last post and I looked for the guy who did my cluster and I found him but he only list 2003-2006http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/aos/4967819220.html
