    I love my GTP. But this year its starting to bug me...

    I drove my car to work on a rainy day and all seems well. I left work 7 hours later and my radio, AC / heat wont work (only blows hot air on the driver and cold on the passanger side but minimal pressure) and also my Driver Information Center (DIC) wont light up at all. I have no lights or functions for anything in the center of the dash EXCEPT my TCS light and the Cig lighter ac outlet.

    I tried checking fuses all seems fine there.
    I tried changing the ac cluster relay under the hood but also no effect.

    Anyone else have this issue? Or perhaps a place to start looking for a repair solution? Any help would be appriciated.

    you can try to test to see if ignition switch is bad after checking battery.. I forgot where I read how to check mine but I went into the fuse box and checked for voltage on the fuse holders. My symptoms started out as dimming/flickering DLC or it would be completely out. My blower motor would only work on the high setting.

    Hey Eric? Would this ground on the bottom of the Column be in the engine compartment or under the dash? has anyone heard of or could tell me where a fusible link would be in relation to the DIC and Radio? Thanks for the help. I am rebuilding my 98 GTP Daytona 500 edition and this is the last problem existing. All help is appreciated.
