SOUND A SHORT IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER.

Front seating area, driver side, driver side of steering column, behind upper dash panel, mounted above fuse block

instrument panel fuse panel: Below LH side of instrument panel, left of steering column

A SHORT COULD BE IN IGNITION SWITCH OR WIRE TO SWITCH.CLUSTER COULD BE FAULTY.

the problem is more than likely the brake hose have collapsed not letting the pressure of the pistons. try changing these and if you still have this problem the pistons could be hanging up, but not likely.

Check the starter relay under the hood in the fuse box.
