Default DIC Malfunction

Has anyone found a fix for a non-functional DIC? Mine works on the system inputs (like a cruise control speed setting) but does not respond to any of the control buttons on the right side of Inst Cluster.

Can you pull the codes, or is that not functioning either? If not you will need a good scan tool that can communicate with all the modules to pull the codes. Otherwise trying a different switch would be an easy test. When the switch is unplugged,there should be at least 6 terminals with less than 5.0v at the connector. If you don't, don't buy a new switch.

There are no codes set. The car performs fine and all other functions work except the commanded DIC functions.
Perhaps it is a common problem, pertaining to the switches, i.e., power, ground, pwb problem or other. I know several people have had the problem and I post every 6 months or so to see if anyone has identified a cause.
