The lights for my speedo, clock, temp gauge and fuel gauge not working, indicators, main beam, high beam, oddometer, handbrake, foglight all working ok?

I've changed the bulbs. Sometimes the lights come on for a second or two then back off?

    dont think it can be a fuse as the lights sometimes come on for a moment then go off again, seems to be when braking?

You should have a fuse in the fusebox for the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster houses your gauges, speedometer, clock, and temperature gauge or light. Check the fuse to see if it blown and replace with the same size number on the fuse. Don't decrease or increase the number of the fuse. Stay with the same amp number that is on the old fuse when you replace it. Hope this helps.Good luck.

SOURCE: 1995 chevy suburban headlights won't come on

Common for the wire harness on the switch to go bad. Inspect the wire harness where it clips on to the switch and look for any signs of damage.

The plastic heats up from the current running through the switch and causes it to melt and then you loose connection caused from melted plastic between the contacts from the harness to the switch.

There is a upgrade to the headlight harness which is larger then the ones that came with the Suburban to address this issues. You can get them at the dealer or NAPA i believe.

Good luck and keep us posted. Thank you for using fixya and stay safe.

Testimonial: "I replaced the turn signal switch which solved the problem. It was that. The headlight wires had melted at the connector. The pain is the new turn signal switch has a malfunctioning wiper component causing the wiper delay to turn on with out being on. Now I have to do it all over. "

1998 Chevrolet Malibu 54k miles - replaced fuel pump assembly & now some dash warning lights and clock stay on. Any ideas?

Replacing a fuel pump has nothing to do with instrument cluster lights or the clock staying on. Unless you shorted wires , did you disconnect the negative battery cable before hand ?
The body control module (BCM) performs the following functions:
• A/C compressor request
• A/C cooling fan
• Exterior and interior lighting control
- Daytime running lights (DRL)
- Automatic lighting control
- Fog lamps
- Interior lighting
• Battery rundown
• Chime
• Gauge control
• Instrument cluster indicator control
• Fuel gauge control
• Temperature gauge control
• Theft deterrent
Interpreting all of the driver warnings sent by the control modules on the class 2 serial data line
Sending the information to the instrument cluster in the form of a SPI serial data bus message
The following list of messages are sent by the BCM to the instrument cluster:
• Fuel gauge position
• Temperature gauge position
• Oil pressure
• Low engine coolant
• Check oil
• Volts
• ABS
• High beam
• Low fuel
• High temperature
• Washer fluid level low
• CRUISE
• BRAKE
• SERVICE VEHICLE SOON
• Door ajar
• Seat belt
• THEFT SYSTEM
• PRNDL
Check the fuel level sensor wires , the fuel level sensor is a input to the BCM .

2003 Satria, Tacho and Fuel gauge dont work . Fuel gauge comes up now & again low fuel light works. Tacho works now & again. But speedo and temp do work all the time.

It may be that the speedo and temp are mechanical, whereas the tach and fuel are electrical. Check fuse for inst. cluster for clean and tight fitment. Check electrical connection at back of inst. cluster.

When lights are on low beam the fog(driving) lights workbut do not work on high beams.Can this be fixed so they work all the time

it is illegal in europe/japan for these foglights to work on anything BUT low beam.as the light spread from these would be defeated if main beam were on in foggy situations.in other words pointless having them switched on.you could always fit accesory spots/driving lights.(like rally cars)but these MUST only come on with high beam.(so you dont blind oncoming traffic.)
