I dunno whats going on

As the title states, i dont know what is going on but in the 2000 camaro, I have a slight eletrical problem. See i dunno if its in earlyier versions or not, but when you drop the E-Brake for manuals, the lights come on and the gauges light up at night time not during the day. Today i did what i normally do, starts up and drop the break BUT my gauges failed to light up and my factory steareo clock dissipeared. So figureing it was just a glich, i pulled over and restarted, before i drop the break the clock was on, then when i did it went away and gauges failed to light up again. i have checked the fuses and none of them are blown, and is there another reason for this to do this?

Re: I dunno whats going on

I've ran across this in GM pick-ups... If you put on the e-brake it shuts off the daytime running lights. As soon as you take it off they come back on. All Camaros 97 and up have daytime running lamps, but they also have a sensor on the dash so when it gets dark the gauges and headlights come on.

Your stereo clock is always on, unless you turn your dimmer off, your stereo clock will shut off too..

Re: I dunno whats going on

When you turn your ignition on, do your indicator lights light up?
