I had been told by the dealership mechanics that the dash panel connectors develop contamination and stop making good contact with the cable. I pulled my cable loose from the panel and sprayed a small amount of DeOxIt (buy from a local electronics store) into the cable connectors. The other way to fix it is to replace the dash panel (cluster) at $850 for parts and who knows how much for labor. on mine it was a loose connector behind the dash, check to make sure the plug is latched There is a recall on this. It is the ground wire for the dash not tight enough. Dealer should fix for free. Although, not sure if this would also cause airbag light to come on. It will cause all gauges to go to zero while driving.
