    Which fuse controls the center display(oil life, range, etc...) in a 2000 GTP? Mine is currently blank and I want to make sure it's not a fuse before trying to replace it.

    Apologies if this has been asked before. My search skills failed me as I don't know what the center display is technically called.

    Thanks,
    Steve

    It's the driver's information center DIC. Your bulbs are probably burnt out.

    Thanks. Unfortunately, I tried replacing the bulbs and there was no change. The TCS and Low Trac lights still work, but nothing in the main section.

    I've been having issues with the ignition lock cylinder where it sometimes won't release the key except in the Acc or On positions. The air bag light between the speedo and tach has also come on with all these things happening

    Is it possible that the ignition switch is going bad?

    Thanks,
    Steve

    It's possible. I'd swap it out and see if it fixes it.

    Do I need to replace the lock cylinder at the same time?

    No, the electrical part is its own unit.

    I replaced the ignition switch this evening, and it fixed up my key issues. Unfortunately the DIC main display still doesn't work.

    I have now checked the DIC/HVAC fuse, replaced the bulbs, and replaced the ignition switch. Is there anything else that I could possibly need to do to fix it, or am I looking at having to replace the whole unit?

    Thanks
