Do your power locks not work when the key is not in the ignition? Might be a fuse?

Sorry, I have nada for ya. I actually just started having this same problem two days ago. My doors lock only when the key is in the ON position and my brake lights work when depressed but they do not illuminate at a standstill when the headlights are on. I'm going to try fuses today. Do you have any accessories running? ipod, radar detector, etc?

yes, everything comes on...like when my lights are off , all the automative drives illuminate, sports shift numbers and my odometer is light up, ok when i turn my lights on everything goes off, clock light and auto drive lights, and sports shift light goes off...i just got finished ripping apart the dash and all the grounds look fine... im thinking either its the actual light switch or cluster?

is there a cluster RELAY anywhere, not fuse but a relay...

Fixed mine tonight. The 15A fuse in the passenger side panel was blown. It's the same one in the link I sent, the one for small clock interior lights.

the wire going to the cluster might have been cut off. get an electrical troubleshoot manual and it will be an easy fix. or u can just bypass the wire with something that comes on with the parking lights.

i think its the red wire with black stripe. look for that wire and give it 12v and see if it lights up

check all the 7.5 amp fuses on the driver side fuse panel. When mine blows, the cluster goes dead and the car wont shift out of park without hitting the shift lock. Not sure if you have that problem.

it's your driver side multi-plex control system unit.

part #38800-S3M-A01

it's located within your driver side fuse panel. milky white plastic looking square. you'll have to unbolt the fuse panel from it's tucked location to remove it.
