I have an 07 cobalt that wont start.the trip meter shows dashes.the dealer said no ignition 1 voltage and replaced the ignition switch. there is no communication with the pcm. i can jumper the starter and it will start and shut off but when i hit the key the lights go out but no starter. i have checked all fuses and they are good. ihave put a used pcm and no difference. also put a used bcm and it changed the mileage but did nothing for the lines in the trip meter

SOURCE: trip meter and mileage gauge

if doors open they come on
if your sitting in vehicle with doors closed they have timer delay they should go off
were they red before in every day normal use
if they were not this might be indicator that vw put in there beetles that tells you your vehicle needs serviced

Take off the distributor cap. Check the star wheel that is splined to the distributor shaft that the pick-up coil uses. Make sure this wheel is not loose on the distributor shaft. It is right above the pick-up. If it is loose, replace the distributor. This is a common problem. If it needs one, all the part stores stock the distributor.

Yes. First, in the fuse block under the hood check INJ A fuse and INJ B fuse. INJ A fuse is circuit 1039 which feeds the coil. If the fuse is OK, replace the coil electrical connector. I stock 2 of these at my dealership because they are needed quite often.
FYI P1351 is an ignition coil control circuit DTC.

Try under the dash, attached to colum is a switch that the rod goes into from your ignition key switch, that may need to be adjusted tword your steering wheel just a touch, they go out of alignmnet from time to time

You have three options here.... None of which you will like. Option A: remove the dash and the instrument panel and attempt to replace the entire unit yourself. ( PAIN IN THE **** ).

Option B: Pay service shop to do aformentioned repair ( labor + Part = most likely going to cost a minimum of 200 dollars ranging all the way to 400).

Option C: Live without it. Your going to come off some money with this one. Getting an odometer system replaced can be very very expensive. If your system is Digital you might actually save some money as far as labor is concerned.
