03 Silverado gauges

[someday31]

Started my 03 silverado 1500 this morning and all gauges didnt move. I started the truck multiples times during the day today. My milegae/blinkers, etc all light up. My question is, when these go would ALL gauges flatline? Im at 120,000 miles and this is already a remanufactured cluster at 60,000miiles. Should I just assume all stepper motors are shot???

Check for fuse's and bad connections.
It could be simple as resetting a connector.

I started the truck this morning and the gauges were all working....but the truck sounded extremely weak when cranking, like it wasnt going to start. So could low voltage/amps cause gauges not to work but everything else to seem ok?

check for loose fuses...they should set very tightly in the holders..

all grounds on engine frame need removal and cleaning...also the battery leads/connections for corrosion and security..

have the battery load tested should be above 400 amps..green zone ..

using a voltmeter you should get 14.25 volts when engine hot at air temp of 40 deg f.........
