While driving home from Columbus Ga. the speedo, odo, tach, temp. & fuel gauges stopped working on my Intrigue. All the illumination & warning lights work fine. I checked each fuse in both banks and found none blown. Checked the sockets on both "cluster" fuses and they had voltage which indicates to me that the ground is good. Any suggestions on what the prob. could be?

if you have power at the gauges fuse, most likely you need a new dash cluster. hope this helps

Wow! Now that's fast! Thank you for being so quick. I was hoping to eliminate any simple causes before tossing cash at it. Any chance there could be a loose plug/connector?

ther are too many things that stopped working for it to be anything other than a cluster problem. if your speedo stopped we could go after a speed sensor etc. but where so many different things stopped at once the only thing they have in common is the cluster. ****when you get a new cluster you will have to program the anti-theft part of it. its simple, we can walk you through it if you decide to fix it yourself.
