Vehicle started fine, then as I was driving in neighborhood engine shut off and I lost all power, could not turn car without steering and crashed into curb up the street, car would not start, had aaa come tow to our home. Had a new battery, and would only take a charge when bypassing battery directly into engine. Now something is draining battery and if I don't start and run every two days , battery dead. Electrical cluster also going bad and instruments not working, air conditioning electrical problem , will blow cold out of all but two vents, where it blows 90 degrees. Back window wiper stopped working, all electrical related. Dealer said no error codes test drove for a week to get to reproduce stall driving, returned to me saying can't diagnose.

Tachometer gauge no longer functions, wrong speed reading on speedometer and oil pressure gauge reading too much pressure. Fuel gauge reading add fuel when I know it has more than "low". Funny how speedometer was pegged out when I was only going 60.

The instrument panel gauges will just go to zero as you're driving down the road. They may come back on in a few minutes or after you shut down the vehicle. All fuses are good. All indicator lights work I.e. Turn signals, high beam, & haz. During restart they flash as they would normally but the gauges may or may not come back on line. An intermittent problem.

2004 gmc yukon denali xl started having problems with the tachometer not working followed by the oil pressure gauge fluctuating from low to high and then staying pegged at high. The voltage meter is reading high even though while it was reading high the mechanic checked it and his gauge said it was fine. We hear a clicking in the dashboard the dealership said they checked it but it is still happening. We are on our 3rd ride leveling compressor and we don't use it to hall a trailer. What will be next. We are concerned since the speedometer and gas gauge could be next.

I have a 2004 yukon denali and the dash board has gone out. I see that this is a common issue with these vehicles. I have 82,000 miles on it. It is going to cost me $500 to get this fixed. I wish gmc would realize that this is a major problem and should refund people with this problem. It has also made me think again about buying another gmc again!!!
