If I remember correctly, it won't. I swapped from idiot light to guages one time and you have to move a couple of wires in the dash harness for it to work right. Take a look at GMC Pauls website. He has a FAQ on there about it. I know on both of my trucks I have guages, and only the Brake light comes on while cranking.
