Cluster gauge no working no speedometer information center is on but doesn't show anything. Also, ABS and traction control light is on and no power steering.

It sounds like the instrument cluster has gone out, but we need to check the fuses #78 and #69 at the fuse panel under the dash on the driver's side. Also, it could be the BCM that when out as well, we should run a CAN scan if the fuses are good to confirm the failure. You can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) from Amazon.

Here is a video to show you how:

Here is a list of CAN scanners starting at about $25.00 on Amazon:

here is how to check the fuses and I have included the fuse location and how to change out the cluster and BCM in case we need them. You can get a preprogrammed unit by searching Google or Ebay. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
