Hi, I was driving my car all day today and everything was working fine. Went to work and when I started my car the temp and fuel gauge dont work. I checked fuse 28 and it was fine does anybody else have any ideas
It might be a problem with the electrical connection at the Instrument Cluster (IC). My speedometer was intermittent for a while. If I slapped the IC with my hand, it would come back to life for a while.
The fix involves removing the IC, disassembling it, and using a 'contact enhancer' found at any electrical supply house. Sounds difficult, but is very easy to do. Try the slap test first.

Also the odometer in the middle doesnt work, the instant mpg works when u hit the arrows but nothing else works. Do u still think that it could be a lose connection. Its weird to have it just stop working, but having the tach, spedo, oil, and clock gauges still working. Just wondering
I have a 1990 3.6 V8 which had several items go blank. Took the dis[play off and found that the circuit board had cracked and some of the track had broken. Resoldered using very thin wire and all now back to normal. A slap could remake the connection for a short while.
