Hey honey. Yes I have a 2014 Chevy equinox and the gauges are not working on the dash. Fuel, rpms, speedometer and I have changed all the fuses that I assume go to it and I have tried to trace down the ground wire but am not sure where it's located and I'm just a single lady and I don't have any man to help me so do you have any suggestions as to what else I can do before having to pay a mechanic? Mechanic's Assistant: Most vehicles have two fuse panels. Have you located both? Yes Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Equinox yourself? What have you tried so far? I replaced all 3 that said instrument panel fuse block and yes I am trying to fix it myself Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? No that's good

Hi, my name is\*\*\*\*\* to justanswer. I will be assisting you with your question this evening. I am sorry that you are having difficulties with your vehicle and I will do my best to help you out. Did this issue with the gauges happen all at once, or slowly over time? **\*\*As far as phone calls, If you didn't request it, it is most likely the Website prompting you, not me. A Live Call is a "Premium Service" and will cost more money. I prefer communicating via this site, but in some cases a phone call may be recommended.\*\***

Hey Jim I'm Heather and no the gauges all went out at the same time but some of the warning lights have been acting crazy for a few months

Thank you All wheel drive or front wheel drive?

I've replaced 3 fuses under the hood that said instrument panel fuse block 1, 2 & 3 and I also attempted to find the ground wire. It's a front wheel
Automotive Expert
Thanks again!

No problem
Automotive Expert
Okay, so there appears to be no technical service bulletins published from GM about this concern. There are also two fuses in side the vehicle that control the IPC as well. Did you by chance check them? They are located in the instrument panel fuse block, right center of dash. IPC BATT Fuse 10a and IPC IGN Fuse 5a.
Automotive Expert
Here is the schematics to the cluster/IPC.

We have not replaced those 2 the 10a and 5a inside the vehicle we are getting ready to do that now
Automotive Expert
Okay, good.
Automotive Expert
Any luck?

No honey the only thing that changed was the engine light went outI'm at my witts end with this. I can't drive at night because the headlights keep cutting on and off while driving
Automotive Expert
I hate to say it but, If the fuse and connections seem okay it will be the cluster itself that needs replacement which is common.

Okay well thanks Jim I really appreciate your help
Automotive Expert
You are very welcome. Take a look at that schematic I sent you. It has ground wire information as well. Best of luck with your vehicle, and thanks for using just answer.

I will and thanks again Jim
Automotive Expert
My pleasure. Have a great evening.
