Well it depends on the actual problem, My 04 sunfire had a problem with its stepper motors (they drive the needles) GM had issues with Stepper motors manufactured by Delphi... P/n XC5.168 replace them by X25.168 Available on e-bay for 5$ a pop.
What causes a 1997 Pontiac sunfire gt with a 2.4 liter engine to stall when stopped at a light
Stepper motor failure causes the gauges to be erratic or sticking. Total power loss to the cluster can be caused by the bad solder joints on the board or the cluster power supply needing to be updated. There is also a fuse under the hood labeled IPC. Try gmgaugerepair.com also
The year, make and model would help but with some vehicles all the dash cluster gauges are protected with one fuse.
Defective exhaust system.
Probably the stepper motor in the cluster. Can be changed but you have to be handy and good at soldering. Stepper motors are available on Ebay.
If the speedometer and odometer are both not working, I would blame the speed sensor. If only the speedometer does not work and the odometer does work, the cluster is bad.
There are several causes for ABS light to come on the 99 Sunfire. This may be due to worn or leaking master cylinder, contamination of brake fluid, or leaking brake hose.
You probably have a short in your abs system which has blown your fuse try pulling the fuse. This happened in my 2000 sunfire and I pulled the fuse and all the gauges work now.
Alcohol, tobacco, histamine, or stress can trigger cluster headaches. Decreased blood oxygen levels (hypoxemia) can also act as a trigger, particularly during the night when an individual is sleeping.
AnswerYou will need to replace the complete instrument cluster to fix this problem. That happens all the time. Its just the internal circuit board for the instrument cluster wigging out. Yes it is quite common on these cars, it is actually a bad ribbon cable connection between the LCD and the circuit board. There are electronic repair shops that you can send your cluster to that specialize in working on these. Much less expensive than replacing the cluster. Just do an internet search "mercedes instrument cluster repair."
The dash on a 1981 Lincoln Mark VI may stop working due to issues like blown fuses, faulty wiring, or a malfunctioning instrument cluster. To fix it, start by checking the fuse related to the dashboard; if it's blown, replace it. If the fuse is intact, inspect the wiring for any signs of damage or disconnection. If those components are in working order, the instrument cluster may need repair or replacement.
probably fuel filter or a simple tune up
