Reach way up under the dash and wiggle the connectors that are hardest to reach. This usually works.
Answerremove and reinstall the gage cluster, in the process you'll probably fix the loose connector that's causing the problem...also, check all the fuses, a loose or corroded fuse may b causing this...and
everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and a professional shop manual should be available at the library in the reference section for FREE...make copies of the right pages and fix your vehicle like a PRO! :)
good luck

What causes the gauges to flutter and then quit working on a 1999 Dodge Caravan?
I've not had this problem in a Caravan, but my Camaro had the same exact problem, so I suspect from my background as an industrial electrician that the answers will be very similar. The Camaro has a circuit board on the back of the gauge cluster that connects all the gauges. Mine was cracked and the ground foil was not making good connection. ALL the gauges would flutter and then go either full max or full min. If you can see the bad connection, you can try repairing it with some solder; you may have to scrape the coating off the board to get the solder to stick. That worked for me for about a year. Then I ended up removing the gauge cluster again & getting the entire circuit board from my local junkyard. You might also check the ground from the frame to the engine block, but I suspect that if that ground was bad, you would have runnability problems. Good luck!

Why do the gauges on a 2000 grand caravan stop working?
A common reason for this is a cracked circuit board in the instrument panel. Do any of the warning lights come on at the same time (ABS, for example)? If you smack the dashboard with your hand sometimes you can make the gauges come on again. It'll likely need a new instrument cluster. --Dennis, ASE Master Tech
Why do the gauges on a 1984 Corvette stop working?
There are numerous reasons that can cause the gauges to stop working. In my case, I found a pin on one of the printed circuit boards that had never been soldered. This pin supplied 12 DC power from one board to the other and was black from arcing over the years. This was an intermittent problem that would cause the gauges to come and go. I soldered the pin and the instrument cluster has been working flawlessly ever since. Bad grounds are often the cause for electrical problems in Corvettes.

Check the fuses first. Then check to make sure the wires are hooked up under the dash and also under the hood. You may also have a ground wire unhooked.
When you engage the overdrive then after a few seconds it starts to flick on the dash board what will be the problem?
If engaging the overdrive and then after a few seconds it starts to flick on the dash board the likely problem will be that the overdrive is no longer working properly. Also, this could indicate a battery being dead.
