What causes 1984 Corvette instrument panel failure?

There are numerous reasons that can cause the instrument panel 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 entire panel 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.

What would cause all the gauges to fail in a 1996 Pontiac Grand Am?

There are two primary causes for the entire instrument cluster to fail on a 1996 Pontiac Grand Am. The most likely is that an instrument cluster panel fuse has blown. One can also inspect to make sure the wiring harness and connectors to and from the cluster are intact and undamaged. If the problem is limited to the cluster itself there are services available that can repair and refurbish instrument clusters, often on an exchange basis.
