intermittent gauge fail(speedometer, tachometer, oil gauge)
intermittent gauge fail(speedometer, tachometer, oil gauge)
I have a civic 2001 ex. Auto Transmission. Recently, I encountered intermittent gauge fails (all of them, speedo, tacho.....)
Everything is normal in day time. It happens after dark, 10 PM or later. Quite repeatable. I turn on the engine. I see nothing. But everything works. Works I mean such as, mileage meter is correct in the morning; trip meter mileage number is correct. It is just the gauges. I see nothing there.
Everything goes back in the morning, afternoon.
I am guessing it is something related to temperature and cluster?
I am trying by myself.
Anything would help before I go to the dealer. Thanks.

Could be as simple as shoddy wire connections. Look behind your glove box and the plugs going into your cluster for anything that might look awry

Re: intermittent gauge fail(speedometer, tachometer, oil gauge)
I know I had a problem when my tach randomly went out.. I looked behind the glovebox to see the tach signal wire more-or-less sheared. Then again, I do have a VAFC-II tapped into that wire and it was product of shoddy wiring, but that's neither here nor there.
