There are numerous reasons that can cause the gauges to stop working. In my case, I found a pin on one of the printed circuit boards that had never been soldered. This pin supplied 12 DC power from one board to the other and was black from arcing over the years. This was an intermittent problem that would cause the gauges to come and go. I soldered the pin and the instrument cluster has been working flawlessly ever since. Bad grounds are often the cause for electrical problems in Corvettes.
check your fuses first
check the ground sprats
Bad electrical connections.
Yes, some vehicles have one fuse that protects the gauge/dash cluster circuit.
Check the fuses.
One reason why fuel and temperature gauges would stop working on a 1992 Toyota Corolla would be a short in the wires. This would lead to a blown fuse. Check the fuse and replace it.
The year, make and model would help but with some vehicles all the dash cluster gauges are protected with one fuse.
If one wire was to break only one of the bulbs on the circuit would stop working whereas if one wire broke on a series circuit all the bulbs would stop working.
what is wrong when your gages on dash board stop working on your 1997 chevy astro van?
If the Gauges on your instrument panel have stopped working you may have had a voltage converter stop working. This device mounted to the rear of your instrument panel converts the voltage from your alternator to the voltage that your gauges run off of. You can check the fuses with a multimeter and see if both sides have voltage showing, if so then see about replacing the voltage converter.
Numerous gauges not working at the same time are a power issue. The instrument cluster needs to be removes so that the wiring and circuit board connections can be tested.
