Hey bender,
I had a problem with my gauges that took along time to find.
My gauges would just go whacky. Some of them went full scale and some of them went to zero while I was driving, and the car would die, and the battery was real low on voltage.
It turned out that the connector on the gauge cluster in the back of the console was only partially plugged in.
I took out the glove compartment box and reached my hand in to feel the back of the P.C. board that the gauges are soldered to..and sure enough, the connector was loose. I pushed it back in until the tabs clicked and the problem was solved.
It's a 10 Minute job to take the glove compartment out and make sure the connector is fully seated, and well worth the time.
My problem was caused by a mechanic at the dealer trying to "fix" an alarm system problem. He never did fix it and caused me a lot of other ones in the process. Worth a try..
