I am getting an issue. While I am driving the hole dashboard lose power or go off. Sometimes when I need to start the car and the dashboard lights don't go on the car won't start.
I don't have any idea what can be the problem?

The car wont start because the gauge cluster is part of the antitheft system. That cluster should be available after market or even from the dealer. Also try ebay or amazon.

Hello, I have seen were the ignition switch sometimes shorts out causing the problem you are describing. Can you access the rear of the switch when the problem occurs? Use a test light and a wiring diagram to check
