Instrument cluster stopped working?

1997 Chrysler LHS 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive 140000 miles

car does not want to shift aiso gas gauge speedometer tac and radio all quit working at the same time

Gauges in dash will not work. It is my fuel, rpm, mph, and coolant gauges. Need help please.

My wife drove her car yesterday with no problems. Today she started it up and drove off but was back shortly with an air-conditioner that was inop along with a gas gauge, speedometer, Tach and oil pressure gauge that are dead. The radio works, I have checked the fuse panel and they are all good and checked the fuses under the hood just for heck. They all pass visual & ohmeter checks. Everything in the car works except for these instrument panel gauges and the air conditioner. Is there a master relay that feeds these items? Sure need some help. Thanks, Bob

I'm sorry but it took so long for any response that I had to give up on you guys. I dug back into it myself and decided to visually check every fuse I could find. As I stated in my question, everything worked in the car with the exception of the Instrument gauges, Message Center and the Air Conditioner (and that means no blower either). There is a clue in that sentence that should tell you a lot. I pulled the Message Center fuse and found that it in fact was blown and when I replaced it, everything started working again. Unfortunately the A/C not working diverted my attention away from the problem which was the Message Center and how or why they have the A/C tied into it is a mystery to me still. Sorry guys but just a 5 amp fuse and yes, I would like a refund at this time as stated in your home page.

Thanks,
Bob

All gauges are out with air conditioner but car runs fine what to fix?

Thanks, I will check that.

My tack and speedometer only work part time and then only for a short time. Sometimes my tack will stay stuck on where ever it was when it quit working but the speedometer always goes back to 0 Of course this makes my cruise control not work also. On some cars there is you can adjust all this but I did not see one on this car but I could be looking for it in the wrong place. Also I was wondering if you can tighten the acc. Belt if your serpentine belt was already tight because they share the same tension pully. There in no wear that I could see on either belt. I just got the car so I am really not used to wear everything is on I yet. I thank you for the attention you are giving to my problem Rebecca S Morrow..................................... ....................... ..................... ..................................

Can you give me the steps to changing my indicator bulbs in my 94 Chrysler LHS. I need to know how to take off the dash and where the instrument cluster is.

Electrical problem
1994 Chrysler LHS 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 115k miles

I have been driving my 94 LHS for about 5 years now, 3 1/2 of which have experienced my problem. I bought the car for a deal because the A/C was not working. Didn't care. But not sure if it is contributing to my problem.

I noticed at one point after having my car over a year that the gauges on the dash would start to fall randomly. They would all drop for a couple seconds as I was driving. Then would come back on periodically. Sometimes this would go off and on very quickly, other times it would not function for several minutes or not work at all.

Eventually the problem grew. Now, not only would my gauges cease to function, but my heater would randomly start to blast if the problem persisted. So the gauges would cease to function and if they had been sitting for about a minute like that, the heat would start to blast on and off.

After quite a bit of tinkering, I found that removing the fuse for my Message Center keeps the gauges working. The heat still blasts out of the defroster however. In the summer time I then have to remove the fuse for the blower to make sure the heat is not blasting. However, there is a little heat that trickles out. So even in summer it turns a 85 degree day into about 90.

I have worked through this problem using the above method for the past several years but it is very annoying. Even if its 10 below zero, I have to roll the windows down because the car gets so hot!

I've tried replacing fuses, battery, but to no avail. I'm not sure what direction to go from here. If it's worth having a mechanic look at, or if it's something simple I can fix myself. I obviously don't want to pay a massive amount of money to fix this if I can tough it out until my next new car comes along.

Thanks!

I have not checked that and don't really know where to find it. Wouldn't that be near my fuse panel somewhere?

I do have a multimeter ready to test it out as long as I know where to use it.

Thanks!
