help instrument cluster issues

[antciambrone@yahoo.com]

hi i am new to this site
im working on a 2000 lincoln ls v6 auto,
and out of nowhere, the gauges, (instrument cluster) wipers/turn signals/power windows have all stopped working, all fuses check out, there seems to be a sweet spot in turning the key that gives a these things power for a split second then they go back to not working, i replaced the ignition switch with no results
would u lean toward a ground issue? a fem/ddm/pcm issue? or insttrument cluster itself?

how can i track this problem down? its a really nice car to be having problems
thanks in advance

How many keys do you have? Same problem with them all?

I would check the wiring from the switch. Do you have remote start and/or an aftermarket alarm installed?

I have one key and one fob, it's all factory
