Inspect the flex circuit board on the back side, look for burn marks on the copper tracers. If you find this to be the culprit, National Parts Depot actually sells whole (and brand new) flex boards. Got one myself a little more than a year ago just to be on the safe side. Also check the low current fuse panel beneath the dash. If you find a blown fuse, don't immediately replace it, but rather consult the owners manual to see what else beside the gauge cluster shares that circuit. This will reveal all possible areas where there might be a short circuit somewhere. If it's only the cluster on that circuit, well, that narrows it down pretty nicely. Could actually be something as simple as a torn or overly corroded ground that essentially feeds those gauges, and not necessarily a blown fuse (short circuit) -- there's that possibility too. But it's not insurmountable, just gotta put in the sweat.</p></blockquote><p></p>
