I let my 02 Vette sit over the winter covered and started it today and the dash worked and then went out. I shut it off and turned the key on and the cluster was working until I started it and then it went out. This is a Convertible and while there wasn't any sign of a leak the rear glass was covered in moisture. I'm thinking a bad ground or maybe dirty ignition switch? What do you guys think?
There are 2 grounds for the IPC...G201 (bottom of left A pillar) and G104 (frame next to battery)….ground goes through SP208 (behind right side of dash) first before going to G104....looks like IPC MINI FUSE 19 and BCM1 & IPC MINI FUSE 25 feed it from the IP Fuse Block. If you're near Monmouth County and need help bring it by !!

Oh, BTW I'm going to be doing a YouTube video on our Serial Data Network...any input on content would be much appreciated...you have put out a lot of info on it !!...you can PM me if you'd like...I'll cover testing with DVOM, breakout box, scan tool, and scope. I'll show a "short to power or ground" on the data line and show what you'll see in the car !!

Thanks, I'll check the fuses and report what I find.
Today I hooked back up the battery and it works now. It might have dried after removing the cover. The joys of owning a convertible. Only problem now is the telescoping steering wheel won't retract. I can hear the electric motor engage to extend it but it's extended all the way, but not to retract it. I probably need to hunt down a leak for the convertible top as well.
Might have something to do with the seat cause when I tried move the seat I was somehow retracting the steering wheel. The switch might be shot.

Hi ncali !!
Right now I'm just putting content together of what I want to present...I guess I could transfer it to paper...they say a picture is worth a thousand words...and a video is worth a million...LOL !!...I did a YouTube video a few weeks ago concerning testing the fuel pump relay circuit...if you want I can pass along the link !!...I just emailed a moderator to see if these stickys have to be approved or if I can add it myself...I'll add that one !!...THANKS !!
Did I mention how awesome it is to own a convertible? Anyway so I removed the drivers seat and took out the module that controls the steering wheel and stuff and found corrosion. I fixed the breaks in the circuit with some wire and soldering and everything works now.
Cluster goes out
