okay, i posted this awhile ago but i have some more info now

I found out cold weather is what stops my gauge cluster(GC) from working. If i turn on heat full blast, the GC is fully working within 10mins. So does anyone know what wire supplies voltage to the needles in the GC? Im sure it has to be a loose connection somewhere because (guessing) the heat causes a contact to expand and complete the cricuit. Someone plz help me!

Under the drivers kick panel and up are 3 large connectors, you might push on them and make sure they are making good contact. Other than that I'd need a wiring diagram to give any further information that would help. Don't have one at home.

I had my dash out....plenty of stuff back there that could be the trouble.

Any green connector in back of the dash are a few more you might want to check..Make sure they all snap into place.

I can solve your problem easy...Warm the car up for 10 mins in the morning...!!!

Sorry, the monkey made my do it.

Im gonna check the ones under the kick panel this afternoon. I have noticed how little i actually use the gauges since they've broken though. Most of the time i can just feel how fast im going, and braking is a no-brainer.

guages are still acting up, i zip-tied the wiring harnesses into the gauge cluster so i know the problem isn't with those, and i checked under the kick panel and everything was connected. Maybe i have a loose contact inside my GC? Has anyone ever thaken the whole thing apart? I know a few people had to replace the odometer gears so maybe they would know? i totally out of ideas on this so plz help
