Gauge cluster or possible BCM issues (Looking for help)

Crazytaxi37 · 03-01-2007, 05:16 PM

Hey everyone. Has any one ever had this problem before and know the fix to it. My dashboard gauge cluster freaks out every once in a while. Ok, like every 5 minutes or so. All the guages go dead while driving and certain dumby lights come on. The car runs perfectly but the gauges wig out. I even had the transmission indicator along with the low oil pres and the battery warning lights stay on even after the car is turned off. I'm really lost here guys and need your help. It may be the BCM or just a guage cluster gone nuts. The issue is only effecting the instrumentation part of the gauge cluster. Not the odometer or tripmeter. Right now my BRAKE and anti-lock lights are on constantly but both systems are functioning normally.

HELP!!

im about 80% positive........ i work at a used car dealership now and we have had a number of different cars with "guage" problems and every time its been the BCM....

for whatever reason the BCM's arent usually that well protected and since the are located externally the pins can start to corrode and cause it then to malfunction.
