1996 Saab 900 Manual

Hello,

I have a sweet lill SAAB 900 1996 model that suddenly started giving me grieves when its instrument panel started going black while driving.
Nothing works, the needles on speed and gas and such just drops dead. It can suddenly start working again, for a longer period of time or just switch on and off constantly for several minutes.

Is it going to die on me?
Do you have any inklings to what may cause this?

All comments are appreciated.
Thank you all.

You both have a problem with the night panel control switch, look on the dash area for a switch with the words night panel, pull switch disconnect & check function while driving, post back after if no change, good luck.
