the same thing happened to my 95 Chevy S-10. its was the ingition switch that had a glitch in it. only happened once in a while. all gagues and lights on dash would flicker. took apart the steering colum and replaced the switch and key tumbler
It is telling you that one of the gauges is not within normal range. It could be you are not charging or overheating or have little or no oil pressure.
It defiantly can be relevant. Moisture may have damaged the gauges or the wiring. Have the leak fixed before repairing the gauges. Have you checked the fuses and all connections.
A cracked wire or worn insulation may cause intermittent stoppages.
Arc Fault Circuit Interuptor. It is a breaker designed to sense an electrical arc that may cause a fire. It then opens the circuit shutting off the power and hopefully saving someones home.
The instrument cluster gauges on a 2003 Chevy silver-ado randomly fall out but when you push the cruise, they come back up because it is faulty and needs repair.
The stepper motors behind the gauges. Cheaper to get the motors on Ebay than a whole new cluster
More than likely a direct short circuit.
Fly wheeling or ringing is a process where by circulating current will cause a ringing effect where that is useful is on SCR circuit to reverse power for a shot time enough to reduce holding current therefore shutting the device off
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.
Having a short in the turn signal wiring can cause gauges to fluctuate. If the battery gauge is fluctuating corrosion on the cables can be a possible cause.
You need to find the cause of the short.
In those tail lights there is a circuit board. If it goes bad it will cause all kinds of problems.
