Thank you for the reply. I had replaced the speed sensor, cleared the codes and it was good for at least a week or so. It seems around this time the dash started acting up. I can’t exactly remember if it was prior to the wheel sensor replacement or not. But initially the cluster would work, it...

AuSeeker! Good to hear from you my friend. I appreciate you chiming in as always. Thanks for the advice. Funny thing is I had just replaced the RR wheel speed right before this happened. But I’m thinking if I can fix whatever is throwing the code, it might fix the gauge cluster. Do you know of...

It doesn’t seem removing the scanner made any difference but still need to test alt again. I now have some codes C1201 for ECU:ABS/VSC/TRAC and P0500 for vehicle speed sensor “A”. Could these codes be related to the dashboard problem?

That’s interesting, thanks for sharing! Yea all the interior fuses are good (if you mean the fuse box right above the OBD port). I do have my scanner connected so I’ll remove and see what happens. Will also test my alt more thoroughly. I put a reman alt on it last year.

Update: the gauge cluster has stopped working completely. The dash lights (such as seatbelt, check engine) all still work. The TPM is flickering though. However, all of the needles and odometer are completely dead. Checked fuses all look good, battery good, alt good, removed cluster and...

Hello, just wondering if you were able to fix the issue? Having a very similar problem.

Thanks for the tips! Yea so far everything seems to be working normally. I’ve driven everyday this week and it has not happened again. It has only occurred so far after leaving it parked for a few days to a week.

This may be the most solid answer ever. I agree, it’s time to get to work. I was hoping to save some time by maybe getting some tips or leads. I hate electrical gremlins.

Hello all, This is a new one for me. Cranked my 2007 SR5 4WD V6 (177k) and it fired up no problem. The odd thing is it took nearly 30 seconds for the dashboard to activate. No lights, no needles moving or anything. It happened once before about 2 weeks ago. Alt and battery check out OK. I...

Good point. That was a tough time for me so I can understand. I think I was driving a 91 Geo prism at the time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dear goodness that’s a steep drop off. I know someone else mentioned that was during the Great Recession. Wonder how many were produced in 2008 and 2009 compared to other years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
