My instrument cluster when I turn my key to the accessory position everything seems to work normal except for my fuel gauge and my temperature gauge. when I start the vehicle my message center lights up with a red battery my tech amateur works by miles per hour gauge works, my oil pressure gauge works, my battery voltage gauge works. However, the coolant temperature gauge does not work, the fuel gauge does not work, the miles on the vehicle not display, gear selection does not display. I have checked all fuses grounds and for broken wires everything seems to check out. can someone please help me out? thanks for your time.

Good morning,

Can you post a picture of the gauges with the key in the accessory position and with it running?

I have seen the clusters go (bad circuit board) out which it will need to be replaced. here is a video of the job being done. you will need to record the mile so the rebuilder can program the new cluster for you.
