I have a 2006 Silverado 1500 with the following problem Intermittently - Dash gauges (voltage, oil pressure, etc) cut out and charging light, security warning light- light up. radio also cuts out ... I think electric door locks also don't work....once I depress the brake pedal all comes back until it happens again 10 sec to several minutes to hours later. Dash lights, headlights, tach, speedometer, heater fans all unaffected - engine never skips a beat...happens moving and idling...brake pedal always fixes it ... can happen a couple times per minutes or can go 5-10 minutes w/o it happening even hours... very frustrating -any suggestions? Ignition wiring? Could brake circuit be backfeeding power?

This is where I suspect the problem is (main fuse panel)...if it were in the dash circuitry - I don't think the radio would be involved and if it was the ignition switch..I don't see why some accessories but not others...the brake pedal correcting it 100% of the time has me perplexed....I will head under the fuse panel under the hood megufuse and all...it was sitting for a bit - so mice a possibility

Is the megafuse the 125 amp one that is not visable unless you remove the plastic surrounding the the fuse box under the hood? I've seen reference to a 175 amp one on the firewall in 2008...but doesn't appear to be there on the 2006?

I have a 2006 Silverado 1500 with the following problem Intermittently - All dash gauges cut out and charging light, security warning light- light up. radio also cuts out ... I think electric door locks and windows also don't work....once I depress the brake pedal all comes back until it happens again 10 sec to several minutes later. Dash lights, headlights, tach, speedometer, heater fans stay on - engine never skips a beat...happens moving and idling...brake pedal always fixes it ... can happen 10 times per minutes or can go 5-10 minutes w/o it happening... very frustrating -any suggestions?
