I was working on the factory radio in my Camaro this afternoon and found myself in a no-start condition. I think things went south when I turned the ignition on with the radio fuse removed, which apparently also controls powers the instrument cluster. I remember re-installing the fuse with the ignition on and seeing the instrument cluster reset (the guages bounced from max to min); since then I'm unable to start the engine.
At first I didn't notice that the instrument cluster doesn't display anything but once I did I broke out efilive and was suprised by the number of DTCs:
P0650
P1626
U1000
U1016
U1096
I believe the problem is I've either lost class 2 communication with the instrument cluster or else the IPC has failed in some way. When I scan for modules I see three: ECM, BCM, and EBCM; the IPC is missing.
All fuses test good; my car is a 2000 but I'm running the 2002 operating system with some minor fuel map tweaks. Anybody see this before? Did I somehow kill my instrument cluster?
