Not much to go on but here goes;;;The most common thing is the ground wire on the printed circuit behind the instrament cluster,or a broken circuit board. next,check to make sure the wire harness has not shook loose going into the cluster. then theres the wire harness that goes through the fire wall,,that could have a bad conection,,there is also in some vehicles,,a voltage regulater just for the cluster,,,and then theres that nasty computer that controls all the functions of your engine and sensors. My guess would be the circuit board first then a bad ground on the circuit board . A word of advise,,,be sure you checked ( all ) the fuses with a ohm meter and not a test light ! A test light can destroy your engine computer. And sometimes the fuse can look good but still be bad. Also ask your dealer if there are any hidden fuses that you cant see. They sometimes put them in strange places. Hope that helps !!

Instrument cluster gauge problem not fuse or relay . GM had bad stepper motor's inside the cluster that drives the gauges . 2003 to 2006 . You have to have it sent out to be fixed , unless you know how to solder electronic componets.

Is there a fuse or relay for the fuel gauge,does the gauge share a fuse with other electrical consumers ?

should be a fuse in fuse panel for all gauges, not one per gauge.. there is a fuel pump relay on most fuel injection cars but that gives fuel pump power . most of the time if fuel gauge is not working its the sending unit inside the tank ,wich if your in there might as well change fuel pump to.

2000 Lexus LS400 Instrument panel fuse

It's more likely a fuse is blown, the tail lights are on the same fuse as the dash illumination, check the tail lights if they are not working replace the fuse marked 'tail' in the fuse panel on the inside at the left side of the dash under the cover. At the same time check the 'gauge' fuse', there is a fuse location diagram on the cover.

None of the dash gages work no fuel, no rpm no speedometer

If you haven't done this already, check your fuse, for dash gauges. Go to the left side, inside your engine compartment to your control panel and check the fuses. Also check the fuses in your interior fuse panel, which is located at the left end of your dash board. Pull the handle with your fingers and check the fuses inside. I would think if all your gauges are out then it should be a fuse. I hope this will help you. Please vote. GOOD LUCK.

Instument panel does not work

Hello,I will try to give my input.Try looking under the drivers side and passengers side of the dash.If not there look in the kick panels.The kick panels are as follows;To the left of your feet,sitting in the drivers seat,and to the right of your feet sitting in the passengers seat.If no luck finding the fuse box in the vehicle,look in the owners manual under fuses,and it will direct you to a page number,If you find out there is no other fuse box,or the fuses you find are all good,pull the cluster(where you where talking about,the gauges and ect.)and look for the bad ground.If I can be more helpful,please contact me >[email protected]

Instrument panel gauges all stopped working while driving.

These vans are common for having cracked circuit boards in the Instrument cluster. You need to replace the circuit board. Try smacking the end of the dash and see if the gauges start working again.

Instrument panel cluster gauges and odometer has stopped working

I had all my analog instrument panel gauges stop working after they did the state emissions test. I found the proper fuse in the fuse block located under the hood. Simply unplugged the fuse, noticed it was still good, and plugged the same fuse (10A) back in and all the gauges started working again. Guess it needed a reset atfer they plugged in for the emissions.

Gauges

The gauges are powered up via 3 fuses, 10 Amp "Gauge", 10 amp "IG2", and 10 amp "ECU B."

If these 3 fuses are good, there may be the possibility that the wire connector on the back of the panel cluster may be loose.
