- Check for open or short to voltage in Gray wire between BCM harness connector C2 terminal B9 and Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). If problem is not found, go to next step. If problem is found, repair Gray wire as necessary. After repairs, go to step 9 .
- Disconnect IPC 12-pin harness connector, located behind center of instrument cluster. Check for poor connections and loose or corroded terminals at IPC harness connector. If problem is not found, go to step 7 . If problem is found, repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step 9 .
- Check for poor connections and loose or corroded terminals at BCM harness connectors. If problem is not found, go to step 8 . If problem is found, repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step 9 .
- Replace IPC. See ANALOG INSTRUMENT PANELS article. For 2002, see ANALOG INSTRUMENT PANELS article. After repairs, go to step 9 .
- Replace and program BCM. See BODY CONTROL MODULE under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. See BODY CONTROL MODULE PROGRAMMING/REGULAR PRODUCTION OPTION CONFIGURATION under PROGRAMMING.
