I have a 2003 Dodge SX 2.0 and the gauges all stop working from time to time. Has anyone experienced this problem before?? Everything else works fine except the gauges…

Fellow members, with a header like this the person does not deserve a answer.

Agreed. Some standards need to be maintained. Perhaps @Newf would be willing to alter his post to conform to standards higher than 4-chan. 😉

Agree, there has to be some “Poster Etiquette”. Carolyn, please give us some guidelines from your end.

Edited. @Newf, welcome to the community. The wonky gauges are surely frustrating and possibly scary, but please be careful about profanity.

Behind your gauge cluster is a bundle of wires that are connected to it via a large plug. If that plug is loose, it could cause your symptoms. Take off the instrument panel cover and have a look.
