1997 Cavalier Dlr,cluster Lights Not Working, Car Start Then Dies.
This issue started when positive cable fell off when driving, 1st anti theft needed relearn. Then dash dummy lights not coming on except check engine, oil, shift. Temp gauge goes to halfway mark. I changed pcm, bcm alarm module, ignition switch, ignition, & went threw all wires and regrounded under battery grounds. I think its a double issue and anti theft is the secondary prob from possible loss of communication due to main problem that I'm just at a loss on what more to try. Any new inputs would be apreaciated.
