Dead Instrument Cluster
So for the past couple weeks while driving my AC would suddenly stop blowing cold, radio would quit working, then the instrument cluster would go dead (in that order). Then eventually the engine would die. I could remedy this (temporarily) by pulling the positive lead off the drivers side battery and reattaching it. This would buy me a couple days and then it would all happen again in the same manner. Through research I narrowed it down to the battery saver relay in the instrument cluster which normally requires the purchase of a new cluster at $550. I found a place called circuit board medics that repairs and upgrades your cluster for $150. Just sent mine off today so when I get it back I'll let everyone know how it turns out. The nice thing about doing it this way as opposed to buying a used cluster is you don't have to have this one reprogrammed by the stealership.
Here is a link to the repair place:
Circuit Board Repair for Auto & Appliances | Circuit Board Medics
And a link to a video showing how to remove the cluster:
Hope this helps someone out. I've found a lot of great info on here and I wanted to return the favor.
