Front panel gauges and meters do not work

2001 GrandCaravan with ~120k miles. Spedometer/odometer/gauges all stopped working. Ideas of things I should for? I don't know what fuses control the system.

This is a common problem on these you can try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and reconnect see if they come back on. also giving the dash a whack on top helps sometimes it usually turns out to be the gauges have gone faulty and need replacement.
also you can try taking your battery to autozone for them to test as a bad battery can cause this.

What would cause fuel gauge to stop working, and tripometer, and odometer to stop working?

I don't know that any one thing would cause these issues.

As for the fuel gauge, you may need to replace the sending unit in the tank.

As for the trip/odometer, you may need to replace the gears.

I have a 1998 Pontiac bonneville se with 218k miles on it. Tachometer works fine. Speedometer works fine. Odometer works fine. Gas gauge, oil pressure, battery, and temp gauges are all fine. Trip meter...

If I had a 1998 car with 218K miles on it and an unimportant thing like the trip meter didn't work I would put a piece of black tape over it and use a GPS as my trip meter.

1998 nissan altima is there a fuse for the trip meter on the odometer

sorry but no. the odometer gets its signal fom the spedometer so if the spedometer works and the odometer does not then you will need to replace the spedometer assembly...good luck

Odometer inop

the odometer gets it drive signal from the spedometer so if the spedometer is working then the only thing that can be wrong is the drive circuit from the spedometer to the odometer, the only thing you can do is replace the spedometer assembly, and now the bad news the spedometer on this car has its own computer that has to be programed to match with the other computers on the car so if you get a used or new unit you will have to take the car to GM and have the computer flashed so that it will work with all the other computers on the car.....good luck

Cadillac catera 01' odometer and trip meter stopped working at exactly 73,200 miles - everything else in the gauge cluster still works.

this sounds like a bad speedometer cluster, you stated everything else works so i assume the speedometer is working and just the odometer and trip stopped working and so the speedometer will need replacing. good day.

Odometer reads 999999 spedometer does'nt work

since the odometer reads such a high meter rate. it should be old atleast for 3 to 4 years. you have to replace the odometer "worm ", inside (i dont know there might be a different name for that part in your country). you have to contcact a repairman and get it done.

2001 Saturn SL1 instrument panel stopped working....

erique000, on Feb 06, 2009 you posted a comment about your odometer and gas gauge stopped working. Did you ever find the problem. I have a 2001 sl1 and the same thing occured but also the rpm gauge and the speedometer registered nothing. They all just sit at e or 0. Approx 20 miles later the car died. It will still turn over, but won't start. If you have a chance, please respond to [email protected]
Thanks, Tom.
