No Bus error displaying in odometer
Got a 12JK and for about 6-8 months I've been having a weird electrical problem while driving. Randomly all the lights on the dash will light up, MPH, RPM, and Gas meters will all drop, windshield wipers will go on, radio will shut off, turn signals and air conditioning will become not useable, the engine will keep running, headlights will only be on if on before it happening and taillights will still work but no signals. But yesterday was the first time it happening as soon as I stated it up and would not stop even after multiple start ups. Drove for about several miles like that. So just wondering if anyone has had this problem or heard about it. From my research I've found it can be a loose connection or corroded wires behind the cluster box.

mine was, now fixed
I found the connectors behind the radio the culprit to mine. I have the (antiquated) ipod cable in the back of my radio. the additional bulk of wiring behind the headunit was mashed in pretty tight, and grounding out the CAN bus. I went to remove the radio, thinking it was being a problem. found the issue when i did.
