2005 escalade speedometer cold weather
Obviously I'm aware of all the problems with GM clusters, but before I replace it I have a question. For the past 4-5 winters the speedometer on my escalade reads high, ONLY when the temp gets below freezing. All other gauges work fine, and are not affected by the cold. Only a problem 2-3 months out of the year.
I took it to a Cadillac repair shop when it first started, and the tech just said that the cluster is bad, and they had problems with them. He couldn't tell me why it only happens in low temps, and why nothing else has ever been affected. Wondering if it could be the speed sensor at the transmission instead. Is that an easy fix? Find it hard to believe it's a bad stepper motor, that's only sensitive to the cold. Any have an cold related issues. Thanks |
If VSS is inop transmission won't shift, SES and stability lights will be on. The clusters have had multiple problems, the stepper motors being most common. It has integrated electrical circuits a poor solder joint would be enough. When it is cold enough component contracts deforms and opens circuit.
