Wrong forum , this is jeep. moved YAH.
wow, complex answers....
engine run? not stated,why,?
the head lights are first. as they work key off
much more easy, and 10x less with any $10 voltmeter
battery at 12.6vdc.??? or more?
causes in order....... not cluster fiddling at all...
battery lugs green. with corrosion, clean them its reg. service item.
then AAA jumper cable crank car, "call them yet?)
ok it cranks, and runs now....right?

let it run until your dead battery charges, say 10m then drive 20 miles come home and see if it restarts. it may
if not ,the charge system my be dead
if battery goes dead while sleeping. you have phantom drain.
when a battery drains, (other cause) the voltage drops'
then
and the cars computers all go nuts, ignore them!
get head lights working first

recap
lugs clean.
aaa tow truck jumper cranks
swap in a known good battery from other car,crank now?
charge your battery. using a tool called by same name.
sold in all car stores on earth or walfart
or remove battery and get tests in autoparts stores.

more easy, more choices, sure.

All trouble light come on and all gauges stop working on 2001 cavalier

you either have a loose conection in the back of the instrument cluster or you need to replace the instrument cluster. check the pin conections on the rear of the cluster first.

Instrument cluster problems

Common problem on the 03-05 Cavalier instrument clusters, it's caused by failing stepper motors on the cluster's circuit board but it can be fixed. Check out this page for more about how to get it fixed - Cavalier instrument cluster repair

2001 chevy cavalier 4 cyl. Odometer light works sometime, sometimes not. usually only shows 2 numerals

hate to say it, but it's basically the instrument cluster was built rather cheaply -- I've switched mine for one with a tachometer as I've got a manual transmission, [it's a fairly quiet car and with the radio on at all and windows up it's hard to tell how high it's revving] and mine does this all the time, I get every other digit, and if I need the actual miles I have to fiddle with the trip meter button a bit for it to show properly
Basically, you can try and get another instrument cluster and swap it out or just deal with it -- I don't recommend trying to 'fix' it as most often during the disassembly of the cluster damages the gauges

I have a 2001 cavalier with a dim driver side headlight. Have changed the bulb, DRL relay and headlight switch. Removed the ground cable from the battery tray, cleaned ground cable and battery tray contact...

Give this a try------get a piece of wire and strip both ends, the black wire coming out of the plug on the head light, stick one end of the wire in there and the other end to a good ground or the negative battery terminal with the lights on, if the light gets brighter, there is a bad ground to that light. I hope this helps, cause you have just done about everything else.

2001 FordEscape- dash trans indicator appears to be LCD type, will not illuminate at nigh when park/headlights turned on..other dash illumiination lights work OK

this is a pretty simple fix, even though the screen is LCD, the illumination is from a small bulb on the back side of the instrument cluster. pull the instrument cluster out, and replace the bulb!

Instrument Cluster lights do not go on, emergency lights steady- Sable 2002

Has anyone figured this problem out? Our 2002 Sable just started this as well...instrument cluster lights out, turn/hazard lights on when the headlight switch is turned on. This has the auto on/off switch with fog lights. This is happening in the auto and manual on mode. Any solutions would be appreciated.<br />
