First you can hit caps lock...... Then you can tell us what you are driving, that usually helps a bit when we know the year and what not.

First I would start by checking the fuses if they are good, make sure the the connections on the back of the gauges didn't work themselves lose. If that isn't the problem I would say the imprinted circuit on the back of the cluster is bad. My 79 just lost all gauges and that was the problem.

ummm how do i go about changing the imprinted circuit ? do i just roll down to the junk yard and take it off an old cluster ?

Buy the whole cluster and save yourself the headache.

OR........If you have a continuity tester,you can test the one you have easily to first verify the cluster is the problem.

wait, now that i recall i tested the cluster once I was sitting on 80mph. and a friend of mine stuck a drill to see if the Censor in the transmission was working, the drill worked and moved the speed back and forth. I got it placed back to zero, but if the cluster is the problem ?
