no functioning gauges
Greetings,
Yesterday morning while driving to work I had no functioning gauges on my 05 Civic LX. The tachometer, speedodometer, temp gauge, and fuel gauge needles would not move...just like when the car is off. When I got to work I turned the car off then turned it back on again and everything seemed to be working as normal. I haven't had this problem again since. Anybody know what may have caused this? Thanks!

Today it happened for a second time...despite having the gauge cluster replaced by the dealership during my whole SRS light fiasco. When I started the car the cluster would light up, but none of the gauges would function. I turned the car off and then on again, and they were working. Exactly the same thing that happened the last time a few months ago. What kind of strange glitch causes this to happen?

It's a momentary communication glitch between the ECU and the cluster. They talk to each other through something like a serial link. If it's that rare, I wouldn't worry about it. Is your battery in good shape, btw?
These cars are getting way too complicated.
