Strange electrical problem - 5/21/2008 7:42:06 PM    doctort   Posts: 1 Joined: 5/20/2008 Status: offline I have a 2005 Express 3500 6liter. When the ignition is off, the instruments light up. When it's running, they still light up, plus... ABS light is on, no horn, no cruise control. It starts up and drives OK otherwise. Fuses check out OK. Got any ideas? Post #: 1

The last option I can think of right now is to check all of your grounds to the chasis because when not properly seated they can cause problems... I have also had a burnt out taillight make my dashlights come on when I would push the brake pedal. Bad grounds can cause some funky "unexplainable" issues. (in reply to doctort) Post #: 2
