originally the engine fan didn't kick on until the A/C was running. Checked sensor and fan, both okay. Then the fan would only kick on after car was shut off. Checked coolant temperature sensor. It's okay.
Now power locks, inside gauges won't work. Fuses look okay.

Hello,

This could be a problem with Ground #302, which is located below the center console. Both the instrument cluster and the Integrated Control Module are connected to this ground. I have included a Ground Distribution Wiring Diagram of your vehicle showing this in the diagrams down below. Check this ground and make sure that it is clean, tight, corrosion free, and making good metal to metal contact. Using a toothed washer on the bottom of the ring connectors is advisable, as it unsure good metal to metal contact in case paint is in the way. Please get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex

That was it. The ground on the right under dash/console was loose. It was a pain to get to but so relieved after four days of my boyfriends trouble shooting mess. So greatful for you. A million thanks, Angie
