[QUOTE="Todd Z, post: 1041429, member: 58941"] They don't short out, the heat loosens the solder joints and the become "Cold" solder joints and have to be re soldered. Your cluster was also "rebuilt" off line, who knows what was wrong with it prior or done to it. Circuit board medics has a program, they mail you a fixed one and then you can just swap it. Sadly you could have a bad ignition switch, out of adjustment switch, shorting wires, Bad door switch. Need to figure whats causing the power up. You could remove 1 fuse at a time for the radio, windows, locks, cluster, ignition and see what stops the issue. then go from there. [/QUOTE]
