While driving home I notice that my speedometer, fuel, and rpm, gauges stop working. They are I guess frozen in place. Speedometer at 65, rpm at about 3200, and gas gauge light is on but there is gas in it. At least a half of tank. What could be the problem and how much would it cost?

I am assuming the warning lights all work ok. To test for this problem check the power and ground feed to the cluster, if these test ok it sounds like the dash gauge cluster is malfunctioning. This problem is common in colder weather. Unfortunately the cluster it is difficult to test, you may need to replace the cluster. Please let me know, Thanks for using 2carpros. Com
