I have seen this before where it is actually the fuse panel itself that needs to be replaced when the probes on the panel get bent or broken.

Now that last bit of info is very important. You may need to pull the covers off of the column and check for a wiring short. There has been a lot of that lately.

Your going going have to take the column apart.You probably have a short near the shifter.

Yes, it's a very common problem. Keep looking in the steering column.

I will bet the farm that the problem mine did that a couple of weeks ago and the short was in the shifter lever!
