sometimes, mostly in the morning, i start my truck up and the dashboard lights don't come on. the truck drives like normal just no dashboard lights or gauges work. sometime i can turn the truck off and back on and everything comes on fine other times i have to turn the truck off and on quote a few times before everything comes on like normal. Sometimes i will turn it off and back on and it comes on and then goes out by the time i put it in drive to go.

Hello,

This is common when the cluster goes out. here is a video of the job being done on a similar car and instructions in the diagrams below to show you how on your car:

Be sure to give the re-builder your mileage so they can program the unit. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.
