Did you try disconnecting the negative battery cable for about 5 minutes? Like in my home/business computers (and since the C5 has them), electrical anomalies happen and you just have to reboot the system. Worth a try.

Good point I'll try that after my daughter's birthday party. She just turned 10

Mine quit working last week. I tried disconnecting the battery, didn't work. I even bought a new one just in case. No help. But at least I have a new battery.

We must have the EXACT same problem. My DIC buttons have been out for a couple weeks. Saturday, took a short road trip and on the way my fuel gauge went to empty (low fuel light came on). After putting the new battery in yesterday the fuel gauge is working again (but for how long?). But the DIC buttons still don't work. If you figure something out, share please.

My DIC buttons won't work in my 99 either. However, I think the only solution at this point is to replace the entire cluster. I've already tried different buttons and they still won't work. If I'm not mistaken, it's pretty common for the buttons to stop working.

My buddy bought a 2000 with this issue.....Its was the IPC (guage cluster). What sucks about this is the odometer as you would want to find a cluster with similar mileage. One can be had for a hundred or two from a salvage yard. I think you could send the cluster out to be fixed but it will cost more money......If you decide to try the salvage route I believe my buddy still has his good cluster as he traded the car in and for the little money he got he took the good cluster out and installed the old one (which made the dic no longer work)....I believe the cluster has just under 100K but if anybody has any interest I can ask him and you can deal with him....
