The gauges may work only sometimes due to intermittent electrical connections, such as loose wires or corroded terminals, which can disrupt the signal transmission. Additionally, if the sensors are faulty or the gauge itself has internal issues, they may provide inconsistent readings. Environmental factors, like temperature fluctuations, can also impact performance. Lastly, software glitches in digital gauges might cause erratic behavior.
I have a 2000 olds alero and the signal light only work sometimes, What would cause that?
You would probly have to do something with the wires i bet you have a short somewhere if there only working sometimes
There is a fuse for the gauges, check it.
if it is all the gauges it's probably a fuse, or just some, like speedo and odometer it could be a bad wire
A cracked wire or worn insulation may cause intermittent stoppages.
if no gauges at all work, i would say that u need new instrument cluster in dash before doing this however i would check the fuses a bad alternator will also do this if engine is running and battery is low,as there is not enuff power to run everything,this tho is generally only at night when lights,etc are on
check the fuse under gauges
There are a few reasons that would cause your 2002 Pontiac back speakers to only work sometimes. The most common cause is a loose or corroded ground wire.
Check the fuse.
The entire dash electrical pod as an assembly may be loose . I would take it out and inspect it and the contacts where it plugs in.
It would be wrong to say but ur car is a piece of Sh@t that doesnt work
a fuse or a bad connection where it plugs in to the dash
