Re: Electrical ?

I havent seen anything like this on a grand am, but i have replaced the Instrument Panel Cluster(IPC) on many Chevy Silverados for the same sort of issue. OR possibly a bad ignition switch. OR possibly a bad BCM, the BCM is whats called a power mode master. It tells all the other computers when to turn on and what ignition mode the car is in (acc,run,crank). So if it wasnt sending the correct message to the IPC, then the IPC wouldnt turn on and light up. Best bet, get it diagnosed by someone with a Tech 2 or other scan tool, that can communicate with all computers in the car.
