There is a big connector on the back of the instrument cluster. Make sure that connector is still plugged into the panel.

Fuse block under the hood, fuses marked IPC/DIC, SEO, IGN E and SEO IGN all power the instrument cluster. Instrument clusters are a common failure.

SOURCE: guages and insturment panel stopped working on a 1998 plymouth

In the event that you have not completely fixed this problem, I suggest the following: Do a google search for "98 voyager instrument cluster solder" and you will find an abundance of posts regarding the soldered joints on the main terminal connector on the back of your instrument cluster. If the behaviour is at all erratic and unpredictable, or hitting the dash makes the gauges come back to life, then you are about 99.9% sure it is the solder problem. It takes about 8 minutes to remove the instrument cluster (okay maybe 15), and about 2 minutes to remove the circuit board. By examining the solder joints of the main connector with a magnifying glass, you will probably see cracked or corroded solder on them. Briefly reheat each solder joint with a soldering iron to re-flow the solder. Your erratic gauge behaviour should now be history.

2003 pontiac vibe when i put the key in to start door bizzer will not come on also when i start my car insturment panel lights and guages will not come on

Check your fuses. Probably a 10 or 15 amp. Most newer cars have 2 fuse boxes....one under or on the side of dash (drivers side) and one under hood.

I have a 2001 chevy impala my tempature gauge completely quit working 2 days ago and my gas gauge is all over the place i dont know if its full or empty.. most of the time it stays at half or a little...

It sounds like the voltage regulator for the insturment cluster is malfunctioning -- that's why you got the recommendation to replace the instrument cluster.

If it were just the temp guage failing, the problem could be a faulty temp sending unit in the engine block. However, with more than one guage failing, it sounds more like an insturment-voltage- regulator problem.

An instrument cluster would contain the voltage regulator.

It's possible that the voltage regulator cold be repaired and an entire cluster would not be needed.

More info, please let me know.

My dashboard guages and the heater stopped working

if they stopped working at the same time chances are you have a bad fuse, there should be some kind of diagram of fuse location on the fuse box cover, if not i would suggest just pulling them 1by1 until you come across abad one. visually inspect that the small piece of wire inside each fuse is not broken

Silverado 2000 5.3 4x4 gas gauge not working properly. Listen I have installed (2) new fuel pumps and fuel level sensor. I installed a insturment cluster. I ran a new ground wire from fuel pump to...

there are 4 wires at the sender - and 3 wires for the vapour sensor-the two heavier wires are for the pump and the lighter wires are for the guage-the lighter purple wire should have 5 volts on it-if not you may have a wire or computer problem-th guage is an input to the pcm(computor) under the hood and then is transmitted via comm. line to the cluster-if the rest of the guages work in the cluster you need to look at the pcm or wiring to the tank

Unplug the Insturment cluster and plug it back in this will reset the computer it should communicate with the Can C bus and should come out of gear. Keep in mind if this works it is only a temporary fix. Hope this helps please rate if it does.
