Default Help on a 2000 Corvette

I have a few problems that I would like some possible insight on.


My gauge cluster lights up like normal when the door is opened, however when I shut the door and turn the parking lights and/or headlights the gauge cluster does not illuminate at all. I have not been able to find anything via search that would point me in the right direction.

These two problems I think are coming from the column controls but also would like to see if anyone else has had either of the two problems.


The cruise does not work and has not worked since I have had the car.

The windshield washer pump when it is plugged in at the pump, it stays on at all times, I have to leave it unplugged.

I think your multi-function switch might be bad. there are a few threads on how to clean/fix it. I tried 'fixing' mine it lasted a few months. Ended up replacing it all together.

The fuses are good. I can mess turn the parking lights on and off and the illuminations will come on. It is luck of the draw though.

Do you guys think it could be the multifunction switch at that point? If I go that far I will put both control stalks in it.

Thanks,
Ryan
