Did it blow the fuse the second time? And yes you are in the right place, just seems to slow down sometimes here.

try the wiggle test on the wirring to and from the PDC.
also try wiggling the wires from the PCM

those codes arent the best to diagnose. they are instrument cluster codes

400.1 = improper power shutdown
100.6 = 'SBEC/DEC/MCM communication failure'
100.1 = 'loop-back failure'

sounds to me like theres a disconnect from power to the computer, if your not bald you maybe by the time you trace this one.
electrical gremlins like this are one of the most time consuming endeavours.

hope you got a good DVOM and lots of time, let me know if you require wiring diagrams

PDC= Power distrubution Center (its where all the fuses and relays are under the hood

DVOM = Digital Volt Ohm Meter, as electricity is hard to see with naked eye you may need this to trace, measure current.
