the wires may have come out of the back of your cluster thats what the unit is called with all the gauges.if your speedometer stopped working but everything else is working this is normal for a cavalier just built crappy and you will have to go to chevrolet parts department and get a new cluster about just under 300 i think if you give them your old one up front or you will have to pay alot more till you can give them your broken one.because they will repair it and it will be sold again. if you want a new one not reconditioned its about 2000 dollars

go to autoparts store and use their scanner to scan the computer and get the code. you may have to wait until you can catch it back on again. You can try resetting the computer by disconnecting battery for 30 minutes and see if that works first

Testimonial: "I knew that but thanks for the help. I,m way out in the woods too far to autozone or anywhere else without a good reason forgot about the Batt. reset"

2002 cavalier No Crank Stopped, Ignition Switch?

Check your alternator. The easiest way to do it is to start the car, and remove your negative battery cable. If the car turns off, your alternator is bad.

2002 chevy cavalier gauges not working - battery was jumped after leaving lights on- gauges quit working after

Start the car. remove the cluster fuse from the fuse panel to the left of the dash. Wait 5 seconds and reinsert the fuse. It should be fine until you replace the battery again.
