My dashboard will not work on a Malibu 2011

The instrument cluster in your vehicle gets its power from the Cluster/Theft Fuse 10A located in the Body Control Module located under the center console. That power comes into the cluster on a red/white wire terminal 14 of the connector at the cluster. The cluster ground is supplied on a black/white wire at terminal 6. The ground wire terminates at ground point G201 under the center console. So check the fuse first. Then check for power at terminal 14 and check for good ground at terminal 6 at the cluster connector. The cluster operates by digital data supplied by the body control module on terminals 7 & 8
