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

@@nzdiagnostics2010 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.

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.

2 questions will this trigger the theft light? So I remove key and it’s in off position ac will still blow , radio will work lights stay on with key off and removed which ignition switch ( the key lock cylinder assembly or the switch which is probably operated by an arm from lock cylinder assembly? When I first noticed issue I could turn the place plastic that key fits into with key removed like it wasn’t locking.

[@MC-hs4mf]

??????? Switch or lock?

[@weezerfan999]

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

[@tomkavanaugh8175]

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

[@nzdiagnostics2010]

You may find a replacement part on-line.
