I just bought this car and sometimes the gauges all work and sometimes not. One time you start it the speedometer and gas gauge and temperature gauge and the overdrive light will work. The turn signal lights will blink on the dash as well. The next time you start it the speedometer, gas gauge, temp gauge and overdrive light will not work, but others will.

Hello 3WHEELLADY,

This could be one of two problems, first locate the instrument cluster fuse in the panel to see if it loose, then tighten the prongs to hold it tight and replace the fuse. If that seems okay the cluster itself has gone bad and needs rebuilding.

Please let me know what you find.
