I have checked all the fuses and they are all good. I will start around 9:30/10:00 am after it sits in the sun for a bit. Not sure whats going on. After it warms up the gauges will work and the car will start.

Hi,

The cluster is feed each of these signals from the sensors that they are displaying. This means that most likely the circuit board or the wiring to the cluster is faulty. The fact that it only works after it warms up means that there is most likely a weld or solder joint on the circuit board that is cracked and when it gets warmer it makes contact and everything operates. Unfortunately this is more common than one would think.

The only way to repair this if that is the issue is to replace it. Please let me know if you have questions and we can go from there. Thanks
