2008 Chevy Malibu LT 2.4 Cluster Gauges Not Working

If all the gauges on your 2008 Chevy Tahoe have stopped working, it is possible that there may be an issue with the instrument cluster itself. A malfunctioning instrument cluster can cause the gauges to stop working all at once. Other potential causes could be faulty wiring, a blown fuse, or a defective sensor. I would recommend taking your vehicle to a qualified mechanic or dealership to have it diagnosed and repaired.

The instrument cluster operates independantly of the lighting for them. You could possibly have a fuse somewhere that has blown causing all gauges to stop, or it could potentially be that the cluster itself is bad and needs replaced or this could be a sign of a wireing harness failure of the instrument cluster. I'm afraid your best bet is to take it in and have it looked at by someone trained in dealing with those parts of the system.
