  1. Bleeding Brakes on a 2004 SS?<BR><BR>Hello everyone, I have a 2004 Silverado SS and the brake pedal feel was less than par so I decided to bleed the brakes with fresh brake fluid. Before I started there was no light or messages displayed on the gauges. After I blead the brakes I had a message in the DIC that said service brake system. I searched all over the forum and internet and most people said I need the techII scanner. After I called the Chevy dealer they said I did NOT need to bleed the brakes using the techII scanner and gave me a printout of the correct procedure. I followed the procedure with the same results. I found out if the connector going to the brake proportioning valve sensor is unplugged the message on the DIC will disappear. I removed the brake proportioning valve and inspected it for defects but none were found. Has anyone else had similar problems when bleeding their brakes? Any help is appreciated.

  2. You might be able to take a scratch pen and jump a small wire from the trace on the board to the leg of the motor once you put it in. Not the prettiest solution but it should still work, hopefully those scratches in other spots aren't too deep.

     

     

    Thats an idea. Im not sure if i can expose any of the metal on the upper left pin hole. I will try that tonight. The scratches are surface scratches only, i dont recommend using a craftsman professional solding iron to do electrical work... FML

  3. Hello everyone,

     

    I was replacing the steppermotors in my 2004 Silverado SS gauge cluster and the speedo stepper motor gaveme a lot of trouble when I was desoldering it. I ended up burning the circuitboard and damaging the contacts where the solder attaches to the circuit board. I need some advice on how to repair the damage or where to buy a newcircuit board. I got a feeling a used gauge cluster is probably going tobe my solution but if I can salvage this one that would be great. Check out the pictures.
