They are needle gauges (gas speedo tach ect) They just won't work anymore. Every onece in a while the will come on at start up and last 10min. Then they shut off. Lights seem to work fine. Idiot lights work also. Bumps and jolts seem to have no affect.
Thanks

Hi superbttle,

The meter cluster circuit board seems to be faulty.

Check if there are any bad connections with the connectors bshind the cluster.
