The 03' and newer clusters have this problem on a regular basis.

Ok guys, point me to the best place to get a cluster. If possible a place that will send one with the correct mileage and other info already done.

Thanks

Uh oh, he said the A/C just started blowing hot air all the sudden this afternoon. He has the digital controls on the A/C so does that have anything to do with the Class 2 communications system?

I told him it might be best just to take it to the dealer and have it looked at but, if you guys have any suggestions post them up.

Thanks

yes the class II data is what the pcm communicates through, along with the bcm.... im betting the communication is slowly breaking down.... i think your bcm is on its last leg.... does it show the security message at all?
