1998 Chevy Malibu 3.1 - No fuel or temp reading on the cluster… tach and speedo work… no idiot lights light up at all other than air bag, anti-theft, and check engine. So I did some reading, I know to check the cluster ground. Anything else I should look for? Something about a ‘body control computer’ may be culprit to. Just wondering if one of my mechanic buddiez has any ideas. Is this fairly common? Thanks ---

the cluster should be it’s own module with inputs from the BCM and PCM (Honestly I don’t really see older vehicles like this a work often). It’s entirely possible the cluster is fucked. It’s a very common problem on C/K series platform. Not as much so on cars, but it does happen. Honestly it’s something a dealership tech should be able to diag in 1/2 an hour. So you might want to see what a chevy dealer would charge for basic diag if you get too frustrated with it. ---

get a lower mileage cluster from a junkyard and put it in. I remember bad clusters were a fairly common issue with Neons and mine had a different one put in because the title said 89k but the odometer said 68k. ---
