Bad connection at the plugs on the instrument panel. Usually unplugging them and plugging them back in takes care of the problem. Some times the plugs need replaced.

SOURCE: check gauges light

Possible bad guage, bad wiring, or bad sending unit. Check each one independently of each other, start with wiring first, then sending unit.

SOURCE: 2005 pontiac sunfire

I have the same problem.. i installed a toggle switch for the fuse so at least I can reset it while driving.. its still a pain so Im thinking my next step will be to drill a hole through the plastic and put in a small metal post to stop the tach from going past 7

has anyone taken theirs into a shop?

Changed battery now gauges stop working

you probably blew a fuse when you changed the battery.

Check all the fuses. if you have the owners manual it will tell you the location of the fuses and which ones relate to the gauges.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/sean_54c3a3dc48a7773c

Electrical failures on 98 Sunfire, 2.2

ABS sensor : If you've been in the snow & slush lately, stop at a carwash & rinse the back side of your wheels off, front, back, over, under, as much as you can, it may be tripped due to sensor covered in dirt or slush and not giving necessary signal. As far as cooling fan coming on, let it sit & idle & watch your temp gauge. When at normal operating temperature + or - a few degrees, it should come on, but watch & see if gauge goes too high towards hot, and it doesn't come on, have fan operation checked.

Speedometer, RPM, and Gas gauges out of whack

On the 03-05 Cavalier instrument clusters this is a common problem, it's caused by failing stepper motors on the cluster's circuit board. It can be repaired though, check out this site for more on how to get it fixed - Cavalier instrument cluster repair
