SPEEDOMETER FAILURE. AT AROUND 55K, MY SPEEDOMETER FAILED. BEFORE IT COMPLETELY FAILED, THE NEEDLE LOOKED LIKE IT WAS STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP WITH SPEED, THEN IT COMPLETELY FAILED. WHEN I NOTICED THE FAILURE, I LOOKED DOWN AND IT SAID I WAS GOING 120MPH, WHICH I WAS NOT. I'VE CALLED THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THEY SAID THE 03'S AND 04'S WERE RECALLED, BUT THE 05'S WEREN'T. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE 05 SUBURBAN WAS UNDER RECALL? AND THAT MINE SHOULD BE TOO BECAUSE OF THE SAME CLUSTER PANEL. I'VE HEARD NOTHING YET ON A RECALL, AND I DON'T WANT TO BE TICKETED BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING. *TR

1) JUST HAPPENED. 2) THE RESISTER IN THE BLOWER MOTOR CIRCUIT SHORTS OUT. WHICH CAUSES THE WIRING HARNESS TO BURN UP MELTING THE PLASTIC AT THE CONNECTOR TO THE RESISTER AND THE BLACK WIRE LEADING TO THE RESISTER. 3) I HAD TO REPLACE THE RESISTER TO THE CIRCUIT AND SPLICE IN A NEW WIRING HARNESS FOR THE RESISTER. *TR
