Hi,

Just for curiosity, do the brake lights work? The shift interlock circuit is powered via the brake lamp switch. That's why I ask.

Now, the cluster issue is different. I need you to start by checking fuses M13 and M20 in the under-hood fuse box/totally integrated power module (TIPM).

In addition to checking the fuses, confirm there is power to and from them. They both should have power at all times.

Here is a link you may find helpful:

I attached the wiring schematic for the instrument cluster below so that you have a reference. Also, pics 3 and 4 indicate fuse locations.

Let me know what you find or if you have questions.

Take care,

joe
