To troubleshoot the issue with the dashboard instrument cluster lights not working on a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe, start by examining the 10 amp IPC fuse and 10 amp AUX HVAC-IGN fuses located in the fuse panel under the hood in the engine compartment. These fuses may need replacing, which is a relatively inexpensive fix. If the fuses are intact, inspect the wiring, paying special attention to the ground cable which can become loose. If all connections are secure, consider the possibility of a malfunctioning PCB in the cluster control.
If the dash lights aren't working on a 2007 Chevy Tahoe, the probable causes could be blown fuses or a faulty ground cable.
I encountered a similar problem to yours where the 10 amp fuse kept blowing. To troubleshoot, I replaced it with a 15 amp fuse and discovered two damaged wires leading to the passenger visor light. After fixing those wires and rewiring that section of the harness, the 10 amp fuse no longer blows and the dashboard lights are working correctly.
I experienced a similar issue once before with the battery in our dashboard. It was costly because the entire dashboard had to be removed. This occurred three months ago when the battery was replaced, and now it has happened again. I'm starting to question if the mechanic ripped me off. Is there such a thing as a dashboard battery?
