SOURCE: Intermittent display on cluster panel

It doesn't sound like a bad cluster as much as it sounds like a loose or bad connection in the wiring harness somewhere. What I would do is locate the harness under the dash that feeds the instrument panel and move it around while the panel is not working and watch for it to begin working again. Or, if it is working at the time, watch for it to go out again. As you get closer to the bad connection, you will have to move the harness less to get the same effect, but you will need to try moving it from one end to the other. If that doesn't help locate it, you will need to start checking the connections. Most likely it is either in the connection that connects the harness to the instrument panel or in a connector that connects the primary under-dash harness to the instrument panel harness. If you have trouble locating it, you can look up the information at http://www.alldatadiy.com . You will need to purchase a subscription for your vehicle for $26.95 USD, but it will tell you the harness locations, connector locations, wiring diagrams, repair procedures, etc. Everything you need to know about your vehicle. (You are in Australia? I have always wanted to move there! I am in the United States.) Good luck.

Flickering is not good, and indicates a deteriorating connection of some sort.
The problem is deciding if it is in external power and ground to the dash, or internal to some chip.
Clean all the connections.
Start with the battery terminals, they should be brushed shiny and then greased.
Make sure the engine ground strap and alternator connections are cleaned and greased.
Clean and check the fuses as well, with a test light, because you can't see corrosion enough to reduce current.
It would also be useful to put a voltmeter across the battery and ensure 12.5 volts at idle, and over 14 at high rpm, but not over 14.5 volts.
The next would be the connections to the back of the dash panel, which you reach from underneath. Remember the dash also have one or more ground connections.

If all that does not turn up anything, then I would suggest getting a salvage dash panel.

SOURCE: My odometer panel went out

Start with your fusebox and look for bad fuses. I suspect if dash lights out you have no tails lights either. They're usually on same circuit. And if by any chance you have trailer wire/plug in the back, check to make sure that's not dangling, shorted or corroded.

Digital dash gauges,fuel,temp, speed,just quit the other day,checked fuses

If you found no other cause then the display computer inside the dash cluster display has failed. You will need to remove the cluster and have it re-manufactured at a GM approved repair facility. Call Your dealer and find out where they send there clusters for repair.

Where the fuse box to a 88 ford thunder bird 5.0 liter

The fuse panel is located underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, next to the emergency brake pedal. You need to remove the under-dash insulation to access some parts of the fuse panel.


If it doesn't have a diagram inside the box, here's one I found online: http://www.coolcats.net/tech/reference/images/fusepanel.jpg

Electrical Problem with speed gauge, RPM and dash board lignts.

That is a manufacturing defect associated with your instrument cluster. My local dealer replaced my entire instrument cluster for free (truck was out of warranty) when my speedometer showed 100 mph in a parking lot and my oil pressure gauge read 0.
