Diagnostic Aids
An open ignition F12 fuse will cause the entire cluster to be inoperative.
Check the battery and ignition feed circuits for poor connections if the MIL is intermittent.
Any circuitry, that is suspected as causing an intermittent complaint, should be thoroughly checked for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, poor terminal-to-wiring connections or physical damage to the wiring harness.
