I want to ask you a electrical question. Now when I turn on the ignition or start the car the dashboard lights don't come on. If I unplug the connector to dash and re-connect it, it works perfect with all the gauges working fine until I turn the ignition off. Also if I remove the negative battery cable and reconnect, it works until I turn off ignition. If you have any ideas about this please let me know. Okay, so thanks again Ken

More then likely there is an issue within the cluster itself. Unfortunately we don't have a service manual on your vehicle because it is not offered here in the USA but what you are doing when unplugging it is basically doing a hard reset like you would on your phone or computer. The issue is there is an issue within it that reoccurs when it is turned back on.

Normally when these things happen, the only repair is to replace it. Sorry we don't have more specific info to your vehicle.
