Had one that I cleared the computer by disconnecting the battery for a while.Transmission also wouldn't shift on its own. reconnected the battery and gauges started working again along with the transmission.Still not sure why this worked? (bad computer?) I had the same problem, it was intermittent. If i gave the top of the dashboard a good whack it would come back on. Instrument cluster was the problem.

Why dashboard gauges stopped working on a 2000 Jeep Laredo
Definitely take apart the gauges, check and make sure all cables are intact.
there was a recall for that .call dealr to see if you qualify
They might be broken, check with a mechanic, its illegal to drive when they are broken.
gauge wiring may not be hooked up if they have never worked or if they have and just stopped working maybe a fuse i would check all your fuses
I have a 1991 E-150 hightop with 110k miles on it. both the gauges stopped working I had to replace both sending units and that worked
If all of the gauges stopped working there is probably a blown fuse in the right side of the console in the car or out under the hood in that fuse box. If all of the fuses are good then there is likely a bad gauge cluster or a wiring problem.
Check the fuse. It says [guages]
Check the gauges fuse ... may be a short, bad wire or a bad ground. Doesn't happen open but your cluster may be bad as well. NELSON
If the Gauges on your instrument panel have stopped working you may have had a voltage converter stop working. This device mounted to the rear of your instrument panel converts the voltage from your alternator to the voltage that your gauges run off of. You can check the fuses with a multimeter and see if both sides have voltage showing, if so then see about replacing the voltage converter.
You need gauges to properly charge it.
