The speedometer, tachometer and odometer have all quit working at the same time. I changed the Gauges and Cluster fuses (both 10A) did not work. Runs fine, but I need them.

You can replace it with a used unit as well but the mileage will be off, or send it in to be rebuild there are many that can do it.

Thanks for the link. I have not decided whether I will replace it It is a 2000, and there is some other work that needs doing too. It may not be worth the cost, if it does not stop me from driving it. I will probably have to replace the vehicle within the year anyway.

Thanks for your help. I was really hoping it was the fuse, and would be a cheap, easy fix.
