Hello I have a 03 Tahoe Lt . I'm having issues with my cluster . The temp guage hovers around the middle is that normal? Also the rpm guage ain't doing jack . The fuel guage is reading over full and stays there now . When I bought the truck the fuel guage was reading quater tank. Fill it up full and it read three quarters of a tank . Then next day read full then next over full and hasn't moved from there .

Temp guage in the middle is the norm for me.....RPM guage not a clue on....Fuel guage could be could be the sending unit in the tank. Since you cannot obviously have voltage in the fuel tank it uses resistance and has what is called a swipe resister to sent the resistance up and that tells you how much fuel is in the tank.

I had an Escort like 20 years ago and would fill it up and would get a full tank and would stay their forever, then bamm.... Down to 1/4 tank and go down... Believe it or not Ford had an access panel in the hatch to get at the fuel pump. I am guessing they expected to replace a lot of them....lol.....

When I took it out I could see that the where it swipes from it was all worn out in the middle if I recall... Put a new on in and fuel guage was working again....

Not sure if this is your problem, but from what I had in the past that was mine...

Ty for ur reply . I have got the cluster fixed . It ended up being all the cluster stepper motors. Cost me $130.00 to get them all fixed plus the light bulbs . They all work great now . The fuel guage is a tad bit off but I can live with it .
