If the dash lights stay on there are two possibilities: 1. As shown in the video, the shifter switch in the center console has failed. A new one can be had from digikey: the part number is SW721-ND 2. The ignition switch has failed. When the key is inserted, a little cam pushes the lock cylinder toward the center of the steering column. This pushes a rod that presses on the ignition switch module to trigger a "key present" output to the computer. If this switch is failing then the key present signal doesn't go away when the key is removed the dash stays on.

What about having a similar issue with a column shifter

[@acdcacdc111]

I have the same question

[@stuartsellars8644]

Did either of you find a solution? I was gone for five days and now my battery is dying

I have a local computer repair shop re-solder the circuit board on the instrument cluster.

[@tangiej4329]

@@nzdiagnostics4991 Okay, I don't need a cluster., My cluster is working well and probably, I mean the name of the tools you used to connect to fix the video the Red Brake warning light stuck on the dashboard thanks.

@@nzdiagnostics4991 Okay thanks!

[@tomkavanaugh8175]

Cant you just but the switch rather than the complete shift assembly?
