70K miles
The needles on the main gauges (tach, speed, fuel, temp) on the instrument cluster drop to 0. When the problem began it was a very fast flash, but now they are out for several minutes at a time. The odometer remains on most of the time, but does not advance while the needles are down. The odometer has gone out as well a couple times. The maintenance light flashes just as the gauges return.
Sometimes a bump in the road or a bang on the dash can cause them to go out or return. I have removed the instrument cluster and reseated the three connectors with no improvement. Are there other connections I should check?
The Honda dealer did an 'electrical system test' and suggested the issue was a bad alternator. It has since been replaced with no improvement.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
