Do you know how to do electrical testing using a wiring diagram and a DVOM - digital volt ohmmeter ? Do you know how complex the electronic's are on your vehicle are . Could be something simple but then again may not be . Hooking up a professional type scan tool that can check for DTC'S in all the modules on the vehicle would be the first step in diagnosing this ! Do you know what a electronic control module is ? Your vehicle can set hundreds of code's an they don't all turn on the check engine light . Moving the ignition switch to the CRANK position sends a 12 V signal to the PCM Ignition Crank Sense. The PCM verifies that the transmission is in the PARK or NEUTRAL position. The PCM then grounds the control circuit of the START relay. When the START relay is energized it allows voltage to the starter solenoid S terminal.Do you know what Data Link Communications are ?
The data link connector (DLC) allows a scan tool to communicate with the class 2 serial data line. The serial data line is the means by which the microprocessor-controlled modules in the vehicle communicate with each other. Once the scan tool is connected to the class 2 serial data line through the DLC, the scan tool can be used to monitor each module for diagnostic purposes and to check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). Class 2 serial data is transmitted on a single wire at an average of 10.4 kbps. This value is an average; class 2 uses a variable pulse width modulation to carry data and depending on the message it may operate faster or slower. The bus will float at a nominal 7 volts during normal operation. Each module can pull this lower during the transmission. The bus is not at battery positive voltage or ground potential during normal operation. When the ignition switch is in RUN, each module communicating on the class 2 serial data line sends a state of health (SOH) message every 2 seconds to ensure that the module is operating properly. When a module stops communicating on the class 2 serial data line, for example, if the module loses power or ground, the SOH message it normally sends on the data line every 2 seconds disappears. Other modules on the class 2 serial data line, which expect to receive that SOH message, detect its absence; those modules in turn set an internal DTC associated with the loss of SOH of the non-communicating module. The DTC is unique to the module which is not communicating; for example, when the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) SOH message disappears, several modules set DTC U1088. Note that a loss of serial data DTC does not normally represent a failure of the module that set it.

Your best bet would be to have a qualified repairs shop check it out .

SOURCE: gas gauge, temperature gauge don't work; TC light won't turn off;

there is usually a button on bottom of the steering column to push to take the key out of the ignition. it should allow you to turn the key to the lock position

Try replacing some fuses. Check under the console for the fusebox and see if one of them is blown.

SOURCE: speedometer, gas gauge and instrument lights

First use a test light and check all fuses. Then check and make sure brightness control is up all the way for the dash lights. If everything there is fine check under the dash for all ground connections and make sure they are clean and tight. If all this is good you need to check the headlight/dash lights switch. If it is okay then you have a problem in the dash itself and the instrument panel will have to be removed and the wiring and printed circuits checked.

1999 dodge ram 1500 4X4 air bag light, check gauges light, oil pressure and gas guage all came on. Then they would all go out. Now truck will not start.

Well the air bag light would not have anything to do with the engine. The warning light for the gauges would come on if the gauges needed attention. And that would happen if the engine died.
When you turn the key on, does the gas gauge register ?
Do you have spark and fuel pressure when you crank the engine ?

Gas gauge is not reading correctly. Shows a full

the problem is caused by a defective gas gauge sending unit, this part is located inside the gas tank, you must remove the gas tank to replace it.

My antilock brakes and traction control ligths stays on and some times goes off for a few minutes at start up, how to check for this problem on a 1996 cadilac sts.

One of the sensors at the wheels are not working right. Located on the backside of the spindle look for a wire running to a black plastic sensor. It's possible it might have a crack in it or they are just getting old. ABS- for panic stops if light is on you will have normal brakes. Traction control- for wheel spinning out or burn outs slows motor down so wheels get traction if light is on next time you stab the gas you will have a nice burn out. (Normal driver)

Traction control

Traction Control system adjusts your throttle and braking automatically to help keep your car from slipping on wet/snowy roads. If the light flashes momentarily then that means it is doing the job properly. If the light flashes constantly or stays on then it indicates a problem with the traction control or ABS system and could pose a safety concern.
