Grounding
Yesterday I took the car out for a drive, parked it then drove again. It's an 03 base. On the 2nd trip I lost my entire cluster DIC and all. I noticed on the outside of the car that the parking lights were flickering even with the key out of the ignition. I also noticed that if i pulled up on the ebrake the cluster would come back on but not without messages like service traction control, reduced engine power, low fuel, service vehicle soon etc. If i put the ebrake back down the cluster would go blank again. The cluster finally came back and worked like normal after I drove over a decent bump. At that point i had already started heading home cluster free.
Unfortunately i dont have the time right now to clean all 13 chassis grounds. Im hoping you all could please point me in the direction of the one thats most likely causing it.
Also, i was unable to locate the driver's side footwell ground, where is that located?
Thanks to all!

I pulled the drivers side and passenger side trim up and checked the ground connectors, both were bright and shiny. On to the next ones. If anyone knows which ones i should check first please let me know. That last several threads ive started have gone unanswered. This forum has been dead for months and it starting to get frustrating.

On a side note, of course google is a viable option. Why does everyone get a bug up their *** when someone doesnt search? Isnt this forum here to help each other out so we dont have to pull our hair out weeding through endless pages of years of threads and internet jargon? At that point why not only use google and skip the forum membership all together. Maybe some people have time constraints, maybe they dont understand the internet acronyms blah blah. Answer the thread or dont. This is a community not a search engine.

O.k. sorry I couldn't help, but your attitude sucks. Did you take in to consideration that no one has run across your particular problem and we don't have the answers? So go find yourself another forum to bitch on

Its sad that the most attention ive gotten on a thread as of late was over something like this. Why are you really here?
There are many unique or particular problems with vehicles in general. Most of us here like to coordinate on a journey to work through the mystery instead of recycling the most common off-the-shelf answer. You are either a car person or not.
