Checked relays and fuses, changed ignition switch, starter tested. Starter engages when jumped at relay, but will not fire. When trying to crank the car with the key, gauge cluster goes out. No engine light and no codes. I've tested everything I know to check, the only thing I can think of is there's either a short in the wiring, or the PCM has failed.

Hello,

This could be a problem with your vehicle's IGN 1 or IGN 2 fuse[s] in the Under hood Fuse Box. In the diagrams down below I have included a wiring diagram of your vehicle starting circuit as well as diagrams of the location, layout, and callout of the Under hood Fuse Box. Here is a link below explaining how to test fuses, if needed:

Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you are able to find out. We can go from there if needed.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello again,

Okay did that include the Instrument Panel Fuse Panel? If not then you will need to test the Crank Signal, BCM Cluster Fuse[10A] and the PCM, BCM, U/H Relay Fuse[10A] in the I/P Fuse Panel. In the diagrams down below I have included the diagram and callout of the I/P Fuse box. Please go through these diagrams and get back to us with what you are able to find out. We can go from there.

Thanks,
Alex
