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

How do you reconnect the computer to talk to the instrument panel for 2000 jeep wrangler?

What causes an extra line or dots to appear on the dash indicator for the auto transmission on E320 year 2000?
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."

Ours had a bad instrument cluster. It cost around $300 to fix by replacing the whole instrument cluster. There was nothing actually wrong with the temp it was just the cluster malfunctioning. Ours usually occured in the winter and then worked fine in the summer.
What causes a 97 expedition instrument cluster to not work?
I had a blown 25 amp fuse in the fuse box under the hood mounted on drivers side fender, it was labeled for power outlet, I believe it was fuse #11. I removed the other 25 amp fuse for the other power outlet and installed it where the burnt fuse was and my instrument cluster worked. It was not labeled for the instrument cluster.
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.

What causes the gauges on instrument panel to go off and on in a 1999 Malibu?
I assume you are losing power to the instrument cluster, or losing a ground. The ignition switch also shares power with all of these lights. The instrument cluster power comes from the IPC/BFC ACC 10 amp fuse and also from the IPC/HVAC BATT 10 amp fuse both of these fuses are located on the left side of the dash.
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.
