Default 2012 Base; ? Ignition switch failure

Both Electronic keys operate door locks and audible door locking horn beep sounds when doors are locked. Driver’s seat moves into position depending upon the key used. When I open the driver’s door no dash instruments light up (no odometer, no dash warning lights). When the key is inserted and turned to starter motor position, .... nothing. Still no dash functions.

Any suggestions?

My friend is having this exact issue,,, but looks like no one reported back ...

Ai seems to indicate ignition switch failure and is tested by seeing if there is 12v at the lighter socket... if not, this confirms lack of signal coming from the ignition switch.

ignition switch : “KL15” signal is NOT being sent

I will report back with what we confirm for others in the future.
