99 Gmc Jimmy Security light, fuel guage, battery light
I have a 99 Jimmy that intermittently the security light in the gauge cluster will illuminate all the time. When this happens the fuel gauge drops below "E" and stays there, the temperature gauge stops working. The battery light also illuminates, but the voltage gauge continues to work. The speedometer and tach still work also. This vehicle has been doing this for awhile and it may just happen while your driving down the road, or when you start it. Sometimes it stays this way for a couple of hours other times its a couple weeks, and then everything starts working fine for awhile. The problem is getting worse. The service engine light does not come on and there are no codes. Can anyone help? Thanks

Hi everyone,..... I have the same problem w/my 99 Envoy. Except mine is not intermittent,..... it seems to be a hard fault. Anybody got any ideas.

Re: 99 Gmc Jimmy Security light, fuel guage, battery light
yep, very interested in this thread. my 98 just started doing the same thing this morning. slowing down from 40ish the dash indicators would all light for a few seconds, then go out. thought the car had stalled, but nope.. running great. love this truck, just got a couple of little quirks to iron out. got 167K on this truck, looking to keep piling them on.
any help would be great... thanks in advance. |

Re: 99 Gmc Jimmy Security light, fuel guage, battery light
I'll be joining this club as well. I have the same problem, except now instead of the gas guage and the temp guage not working, the indicator light for the push button 4x4 no longer lights up either. This has been going on for about a week now. Has anyone found out what the problem is?

Re: 99 Gmc Jimmy Security light, fuel guage, battery light
If it were mine- I'd pull the instrument cluster out and work the electrical connector in out a few times- have seen this happen before- a little corrosion on one of the terminals- working the plugs in and out will clean that off- also a good idea to use a little dialectric grease when re-installing.....

Re: 99 Gmc Jimmy Security light, fuel guage, battery light
I realize I am a couple years late on this....but I am having the EXACT same gauge problem. Anyone find a fix for this? Is it a ground issue?

Re: 99 Gmc Jimmy Security light, fuel guage, battery light
My problem was a 4WD fuse was blown. Replacing it resolved all the gauge issues I described earlier but it kept blowing. To eliminate the fuse blowing, I disconnected a vac hose from the actuator under the battery that kept trying to engage the front differential. I don't have 4WD capability anymore but I don't need it. All gauge issues have been gone ever since.
