Hello,

This can be caused by the connection at the rear of the cluster. I would remove the instrument cluster and remove the connector to check for corrosion and then reconnect it this can help clean the connections and have the gauges work again.

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken
