I had a similar problem. When I was driving my headlights and cluster would turn off and on at random, which was caused by a bad starter switch. ---

3X3 box with a 10MM screw though it its your TCU. might of burnt it out. if it is the prob i can fix it for you for free just come on by.(im in barrie) it gets commonly fried when installing an aftermarket CDplayer. just touching the wrong wire will cause a power arc in this stupid box and somethings can get burnt out. on mine it was just the dashlight. for some guys it burns out the DTRL and wiper… ect. it controls alot of the shit on your dash. ---

youll want to open it(it looks easy but its not, i was gentle at first then learned with care it will take a beating…and needs one to open) look for dark spots that almost seem burnt. iff u see a line thats burnt the connect the pins with verythin wire and very little solder. ---

if you just put a cd player in it could be the orange wire with a black line i think it says ilumination on it i believe its orange or orange with black you need to cut the tip off and tape or cap it up i know if to touches any metal the lights go. it happened to me once. ---
