When parked and key removed the dashboard lights and gauges will come on. They will stay on for several seconds and then turn off. They will do this for hours until the battery is dead.

SOURCE: won't start

Hi, I understand you have a problem with the alarm.
If the alarm is activated, and if the alarm is aftermarket you have a valet switch , That you can use to deactivate, or put in by pass. just you need to locate, is a little switch going from the alarm module to a dash or any strategic location.
When you found turn the key to run position them move or press the switch. and everything has to stop blinking.
If you are unable to find the switch, put the in on position,
Them go to front and remove the negative battery cable, wait 1 minute and reconnect, them try to start.
But if the alarm is a Factory alarm and you don't have the remote control. you can try deactivate with the key in the door lock cylinder. turning from lock to unlock position.
But remember this model of trucks, they use a chip on the key
If you don't have a key with chip it's gonna do theis problem.

I hop this solve your problem. Thank for using fixya.

Why does it start, then shuts back off?

IF you have recently changed the gauge cluster then the 'security' or 'anti theft' needs to recognize the new cluster. The system will need to be reset.

It's been a few years but if I remember correctly you need to turn the key on, then off 3 times, then turn the key to the on position and leave it there for 10 minutes. Then turn the key off for a few seconds. After that, the vehicle SHOULD start and stay running.

If the gauge cluster hasn't been changed then I really don't have an answer.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

2000 chevy 2500 (new style) parking lights wont shut off

The parking lights staying on and the left turn signal not working may not be related, the turn signal is probably a burned out bulb, turn on the left signal and see if all the bulbs light up if not replace the burnt one, if they all light, the turn signal flasher may be at fault ( it can work with one side and not the other), as far as the parking lights staying on, check the door "pin" switch that controls the interior lights (are the interior lights staying on too?), since the chimes are staying on even with the keys on , I would suspect the door pin switch, probably the drivers side. I believe there may be a timer on the parking lights that turn them off after several seconds after the door is closed, this may be at fault if not the pin switch. newer cars and trucks also leave the reverse lights on for a while after the door is closed.

Cavaleir dashboard lights

I would check the key switch first to make sure all circuits have power with the key on.
There is a fuse for the cluster too.

Maintence light is blinkin when i start my car

Generally, the maintenance light should come on for a few seconds, then go off after the car has started. All of the dashboard warning lights do this so driver can tell they are operational. (Should see brake light, low oil pressure, airbag warning, etc. Any of the lowly "idiot" lights should come on.)

As a test, turn the key on, but not to start. All of the lights should flash on for a few seconds, sometimes in sequence, then go out. Now, sart the car, some lights may come on and back off. If none stay on after a few seconds of engine running, you are probably ok.

My gauges on my dashboard don't work

Replace the instrument cluster because the original one is bad. Put in the new one. Start the car and it will die after one second because the anti-theft light will blink. Leave the key in the "on" position for 15 minutes. The "Theft Sys" light will stay solid. Turn key off, then start the car and it will run with the new cluster in it.
