Check the fuse. It says [guages]
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.
Lose of power or ground since all the gauges quit working.
Yes.
If it just the fuel gage then your sending unit is not working or their is a broke wire between the tank and the gage. If all your gages are not working check for a blwon fuse.
All of these parts run on electricity, and for all of them to fail would be bad. Bad or burnt wiring could cause them not to work, or a alternator going bad could cause them not to work as well.
One reason why fuel and temperature gauges would stop working on a 1992 Toyota Corolla would be a short in the wires. This would lead to a blown fuse. Check the fuse and replace it.
The year, make and model would help but with some vehicles all the dash cluster gauges are protected with one fuse.
I i have the same problem, please let me know iff someone answers, getfox@hotmail.com
The coldness
check your fusible link,its connected to your positive battery cable,it could be burnt or swollen.
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.
