My instrument panel on my car all of a sudden has quit registering, my speedometer, odometer, gas gauge etc. Nothing will activate when you start the car, but then at times it will come back to life.

Symptom indicates a faulty instrument cluster.
Start with a check on the fuses, could be poor connection and not blown.
Check the instrument cluster wiring connectors, disconnect and reconnect again.
Check for poor ground circuits.
