I'm thinking since you say it blinks once that's it's 04+.
you are correct it is a 2004 GTP and heading to the junkyard today any cheap parts i can pick up there and test out to see if they are the culprit or not? maybe body control module because I've always had a problem of all my gauges just randomly shutting off it used to happen on my drive to school but now it only happens on startup and only goes away if I turn off the car give it a sec then turn it back on. I've heard this could be bcm but wasn't worth the hundreds of dollars to fix since its one of those things you just deal with car runs perfectly though or let me know any other parts I know my junkyard has a cheap warranty you pay up front for electronic parts so testing these parts wont be expensive
