Amazing that this morning the car would at least start and run even if the dash crapped out. After removing the dash and cleaning all of the connectors with contact cleaner and reinstalling the dash. Also, I reconnected the trip computer and A/C heat unit in the dash, the engine will turn over, the daytime lights come on, the seats and windows work but there seems to be no power to the dash or car start up.
I am at a loss on what the issue is. I have tested the fuse and relay block and there is power. Where do I go from here? The reason for all of this was from my post this morning about the dash part crapping out and one of the forum members said I should clean the contacts with contact cleaner.
Is there anyway to disconnect the security system on this car as I think that is part of the problem? This however still leaves me with a dash that is blank, no lights or gauges working and the car not starting up. I know the engine runs and runs well. Is there somewhere else that can cause this issue.
Any advice would help. I have worked on many cars in my 40 plus years but this one has be baffled.
