Hey people,
I'm the proud new owner of a 2004 GMC Envoy XUV, and some of the issues that come with this GM vehicle apparently.
Almost everything worked when I got it. So far I've replaced the midgate window regulator, several burned out bulbs, and I've ordered the parts to repair the leaking fuel tank. The tank is going to be fun as someone tried to fix it using about 2lbs of some black goo. The little electric tire pump in the back doesn't seem to work either though the outlet above it does.
This morning my battery was completely dead. I ended up here, I read, I watched videos, I copied the troubleshooting steps, and the instument cluster is pulling over 300ma when the vehicle is off. The little electronics meter I used only goes up to 300ma and the needle was pegged.
I've already located a place that will rebuild the cluster for $150.
My question is, why does the IPC/DIC need constant power?
For the moment I've installed a jumper (with a 10a inline fuse) between the supply side of the IGN-E fuse (#22) and the feed side of the IPC/DIC fuse (#24) so the cluster doesn't get any power until the key is turned to the ign position.
