    Default Goofy display

    My 2003 2500 hd has a display problem where it shows the odometer mileage. all of the sudden it will change to another language, like when you go to start the engine the display will all ways show driver 1, well now it shows conductor 1 or some other language. everything changes to a different language or it will show each language available. I have tried to follow the manual but it will not reset to English once in a while it will but again it changes to what ever. does anyone have an idea? thank you

    I've seen several threads here about dash repair. I'm guessing you might have to yank it and inspect for bad solder joints/connections. Concentrate on grounds. Might want to look up these repair places and ask some questions also.
    (I'm also guessing someone else here will have better ideas! The Diesel Page, what a great place!)

    Removing the instrument cluster is ridiculously easy and Ebay has several places that you can mail it to for inexpensive repair.

    Check the battery health and connections. If this is incidental to an engine start, after key on and glow cycle, low voltage can, and often does, cause issues with stored electronic data, including stored personal settings. Also check for DTC's, as the condition can also throw erroneous codes, often without the SES lamp or DIC message.

    The Transmission Display on my 03 2500HD instrument cluster recently has been too dim to see in daylight and the fuel gauge needle is occasionally slow to move after a full up so I was researching a fix via google and found several sites that offer a complete rebuild of the the cluster for a reasonable price. The quote from the following site seems to describe the problem you are experiencing.

    "MPORTANT: If your display reads "odometer error" or is scrolling through the languages, please call before sending in for repair. These issues are repairable but are not part of our standard rebuild. '"

    I'm planning to send mine in to them for a rebuild and LED back-light upgrade.
