Thread: Instrument cluster problem

Good night, I have a 2000 grand prix gtp and my instrument cluster light has gone out, so has the fog lights and the parking light. Sometimes while driving they shut on for a while and then they all shut off together, all fuses look to be good.....Can anybody help me???

Sounds like a failing headlight switch to me.

any way to bypass it?

also the door chime stays on even when i take the key out, is that a symptom of the headlight switch

Hmm, it could be the headlight switch, or the ignition switch now that I think about it. Is it a fast chime or slow? Fast on my 00 GT means lights are on, slow is key in ignition and door open.

the chime is slow when i open the door with the key still in the ignition, and then it goes very fast when i take the key out

Sounds like it thinks the lights are still on then. Maybe try a quick search for headlight switch and see what comes up. I'd hate to have you tear the dash cover off and replace the switch just to find out that's not the issue. Either that or pull the fuse that runs the lights and see if the chime stops, assuming the door chime isn't on the same fuse. If it stops, then I would think the switch is shot.

thanks alot, i'll check the switch and the fuse idea and see what happens. Wish me luck..
