When all of the gauges or warning lights in your car stop working at once, the problem is something that all of the gauges and lights share in common. Check the fuses first. The fuse may be labeled gauges, cluster, or something similar. This fuse should have power on both sides with the ignition in the on position.

Why do my gauges flicker when I start my car?
This kind of thing can usually be narrowed down to a corroded ground wire or a bad connection between the gauge cluster and the main wiring harness. ... Inspect the connections for signs of corrosion, which you can clean with solvent, and for breakage.
What causes the cluster with gauges go on and off?
It could be either a bad sensor or a problem with the gauge itself. But it could also happen that all the gauges stop functioning at the same. This could be caused by defective instrument clusters or a blown fuse and require instrument cluster repair.
Can a bad battery cause gauges not to work?
It is possible for low battery voltage to cause this problem. It is also possible that this problem is being caused by bad instrument cluster wiring, or a problem in your main fuse box.
