    Tachometer/Temp Gauge randomly cut off ..

    Hey guys, I was driving on the 118 going about 80, and I hit a dip on the freeway and my Tachometer and Temperature gauge just cut off randomly. Everything else on the cluster works fine.

    I did some searching before I posted and didn't find anyone with the same situation as mine. Checked all the fuses and they're fine, the Tach sensor is in place .. SI board and batteries should be fine since the cluster is working or could that be the problem?


    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Test your temp gauge sensor and see if its working, I just replaced mine today with a fae switch and got a bosh temp sensor as well. Did you ever replace it? might fix one of your problems if not there's something wrong with the cluster.

      Replace fuse 10, 12 and 21. If that does not fix it, consider replacing your SI board batteries. Si boards affects temp, tach, and mpg gauges only.
