Oil and fuel guages look as though they have had excess voltage applied to at some stage. these can be removed and sent to a gauge repairer. Printed circut board behind dash may have to be inspected and/or repaired. Speedo could be tested by removing sender and gear drive and spinning with cordless drill watching that you dont over speed and wreck the head unit. hope you have some success

SOURCE: Speed Odometer and Oil Gauge Drops

GMC yukons are notorious for gauge malfunctions, there are recalls for some models
However, if you have recently changed your battery this problem can occur and will take some driving time 30 min-60 min for the computer to fully reset.

SOURCE: My dashboard goes out sometimes. The gas gauge

Glad to hear my 2000 Xterra is not the only one possessed by the digital dash demon! I sometimes wonder how many miles are really on it because the odometer, rpm and speed comes and goes when it wants. I've been known to use my GPS to gauge my speed while driving.

SOURCE: I have a 1999 Plymouth

There have been several issues with the instrument clusters in the Voyagers and Caravans. The circuit board can have cold solders at the plug connection causing an intermittent failure of the instruments. The fix is to remove the trim under the dash, around the steering wheel and in front of the cluster. This can be done with just a phillips screwdriver and some patience. Once this is out of the way there are 4 screws that hold in the cluster. Remove the cluster, and with a low temp solder gun, heat the solder points where the plug connects until they are liquid and reset themselves. Reassemble the cluster and check them before you put the dash assembly back together.

These are non serviceable and will need a new cluster.

On 2003 Cadillac Escalade The Oil pressure gauge is below the 0 area but moves farther down and movesup and down below 0

you can not have less than zero oil pressure so the indications are that there is a fault with the oil pressure sender or oil pressure sensor
you should take the car to an accredited service center and have the oil pressure tested using a mechanical gauge to prove what oil pressure you have
from there you have the faulty item replaced

Speedometer gets stuck

GM used a bunch of "stepper motors" in the dash cluster in this and many other vehicles in this time that were prone to failure. Speedo, Oil pressure, Temperature, Gas gauge - you name it - they were all the same stepper motor.

You can replace them yourself for short money - but you need soldering tools and skills. It's a great time to replace dash lamps, too. Check out eBay for parts.

2003 CADILLAC ESCALADE ESV INSTRUMENT PANEL NOT WORKING

Unfortunately this is all to common a problem in these computer electronic clusters. You will need to call the dealer and find out where they send the instrument clusters for rebuilding in your area. Cost is about $250.00 if you do the removal and installation after repair.
