My '03 has had this happen a few times recently - ABS, Brake, and Air Bag light comes on, all four gauges on the right side of the cluster drop to zero. It's done it on startup as well as after a few minutes of driving. I have a Blue Driver scan tool. It does show some Class 2 network comm failures. I've cleaned a number of the ground points, tried (unsuccessfully) to change to my backup ignition switch (might be shot from riding around in the glove box for 6 years).
I've watched all the videos and read all the posts about troubleshooting the Class 2 network. It just doesn't seem like I have a node that's dying and taking down the network. It's very intermittent. Hasn't happened in about five days. I can still communicate through the OBDII port while the condition is happening.
Weak battery? The battery is old. It seems to crank okay. Here's what's got me thinking that - problem showed up last week when it was in the 30's here in WI. It's in the 70's this week and hasn't happened.
Ignition switch? I did buy a new one to try.
This is my wife's DD. She's already demanding a new vehicle. If I don't make this problem go away quick, it might be the end of the TB. Dealer said they'd give us $683 on a trade in. Thanks.
