Did you have it checked for any DTC? Have you checked the connection that plugs into the back of the instrument panel? In fact I would unplug and then plug it back up to make sure it is good and tight. Be sure to disconnect the negative battery cable before you mess with it. Be sure and check for DTC's before you disconnect battery. Also look for any grounds that are loose or disconnected. The bad thing is if it isn't a loose connection and or fuse this may be pointing to a bad PCM. Hopefully just a loose connection.



Good Luck...
