Instrument cluster fails completely, check gauges lite comes on, check engine lite comes on, key sentry lite comes on, gas pump lite comes on, overhead system monitor fails to update, problem was intermittent (mostly working) but has deteriorated to working sometimes during start-up to almost completely not working. Seemed at first to be ambient temp/operation temp related but now may work for 2-4 seconds at start-up and then full, continuous fail. Reply to: afn03388@hotmail.com

We had some issues with the pins and wiring failure dealer should have a patch harness hit to repair if its the issue that you have have to remove cluster and check the connectors pins very common is pin 1& 2 on cluster check for corrosion ,oxidation will look like black or maybe gray in color I think they had a tech bulletin on it I will try and look it up
