2011 2.2 95000 or so miles gauges quit working mechanic diagnosed bad ecm can't find one at the salvage yards I was looking on ebay at flash masters anyone had any dealings with them ?

 

These are also a possibility

Thanks for the link I believe they elmanited the cluster I'll have to ask the mechanic.

 

Did anyone try tightening the bolts inside the underhood fuse block? Pretty unusual for an ECM to fail.

 

Yes bolts were tightened took the fuse box apart no apparent damage.

 

Any codes? What evidence of a bad ECM? The ECM does not control the I/P. Any data from the ECM goes to the BCM then to the I/P.

 

Check the fuse for the Ip in the BCM panel in the console, passenger side foot well

 

I will have to check back with the mechanic for more information he is a friend of my wife he called and told her the ecm was bad all the fuses including the ones inside the car checked good battery was load tested good when I find out more I'll let you know Thanks for the help.

 

You are wasting time and money. Tell that mechanic that you will pay him if the PCM fixes it. He will not do it.
You may have a cluster problem but I like testing rather than guessing.

 

My general rule of thumb is any mechanic that thinks "replace the computer" is a waste of time and money. Especially with no evidence.

Who tightened the bolts in the fuse box? How tight? Did all of the tabs click in to their slots? Did anyone check all of the connectors and pins in them?
