$480,still not right!!! HELP !!!
Had a issue with the gauge cluster. Gauages would completly die.Go to 0.HUD all jacked up to. Took car to dealer and they were 2 connecters under dash not even connected. Not communicating with the BCM. Ran fine for a day or two. Now gauges going hay-wire blinking real fast ,no HUD , goofy reading A6A6A1A1A6A1. Even stays on when car is shut off. Now dealer wants to replace the gauge cluster at a cost of $625
Is it a GHOST????

It could be a couple of things causing this and the gauge cluster was the first one on my list, what I don't understand is what 2 connectors were not connected under your dash?
and if you had 2 connectors disconnected you wouldn't have an intermittent problem it would be jacked up permanently.

dealer said someone was under the dash before. i had no power windows and when he connected one of the star connecters i had power windows. who ever had the car before me was onder the dash. a sound system i think.

About a month ago my gauges all stopped working when driving home from work... the oil pressure was pegged. The only gauge working was the fuel gauge.
The DIC was non functional and the backlighting to the DIC controls was out.
Long story short the main board in my gauge cluster went bad... luckily I have close friends w/ C5s and was able to yank a cluster out of one of their cars to test and when plugged in the new cluster worked perfectly.
Send my cluster to Josh (PaceThis) for full repair and mileage transfer for a great price.
HTH.
