My car is a commodore Svz wagon. Temperature, tachometer, speedometer and the fuel gauges are inoperative as well as the LCD display. The left and right indicators appear on dash as well as high beam, pad lock light appears as normal. I have checked all fuses and tests come back fine. I removed the cluster from dash, and found the plug in good condition and installed correctly, I refitted to ensure. Still no good I assume the cluster has failed internally some how.

May be instrument cluster module, do you have any codes? Cluster failures are not that common a problem.

Thank you for a prompt reply :). Unfortunately no codes up on the dash. I did disconnect the battery for half hour, as I read it may reset the ECM, this has fortunately fixed the issue, so far so good. I really appreciate your help. If I continue to have issue I will reconnect with you. Thanks again, Eddie :)

All good Eddie, that has done a minor re boot of the module, it may or may not be a permanent fix. Thanks for using 2CarPros.
