Hello everyone,
Trying to figure what controls the gauges because they work and than stop working and it seems that sunroof also wont work when the gauges dont work. Cant firgure out why this is happening, any ideas?
Thanks

Have you checked grounds, fuses, relays? I would look for a loose connection as it sounds like the problem is intermittent?

Yes, I did check fuses and ground, but what relay would control the cluster and sunroof?
Thanks

Dash plug/harness......plug it back in.

I had this, and it turned out to be a fuse which didn't look blown, but was. Your fans probably also don't work. I wish I could remember which fuse it was, but it was a couple of years ago.

Replace fuse #18 even if it looks good and check relay #G18.

Cheers,

I had the same problem awhile ago. Cleaning the contacts in the three connectors is a possibility as is cleaning the grounds (four oval-shaped connectors on the cluster circuit board), However, in my case replacing the ignition switch finally solved the problem.

like granpa said--check the relay, swap it with a unit known to work--fixed my problem

Yep, happened to me on a later car. Think it was the X terminal relay. Might have been 15 power relay. Can't remember. The alt light would come on when it happened. It was an airbag car to and that warning light would come after the gauges came back. Water was entering the relay box. Bunches of corrosion under it.

ditto to what everyone else said about the relay. it's the one which uses the same relay as the horn. not sure which number.. not looking at my engine at the moment lol.

Happened to me a month ago. Same problems. It was the relay G2. There is another relay in panel the same. Switch them out. It worked for me. I bought a couple new spares.
