cluster guage lights inop

[triskit527]

on my 97 gtp when im parked and i turn the head light switch on all the gauge lights work but about 20 seconds after i start driving they all go out, the head lights and fog lights will still work after the interiors go out. ive replaced the headlight switch thinking that was the issue and it was not. i would appreciate any help and suggestions

that almost sounds like a bad ground somewhere. have you checked your fuse box for anything out of the ordinary? other than that it might be a corroded wire or ground. i wish i could tell you where to look or something more specific

sounds like there is a wire not making a good connection. probably a ground like Poil said

that would make sense, now the hard part is, the ground off what?

well... that's a really good question haha. it's hard to say without taking at least some of the dash apart. which i haven't really done

I am having the same issue with my car...the cluster lights will go out on their own after driving for a while. It will sometimes happen when I hit a bump or hit the gas pretty hard
