Default all gauges died!?!?

Wonder if this has happened to anyone else...while driving ALL the gauges went out as well as the power to the A/C switch. Now it happens intermittently. I checked the fuses (good) and removed the instrument cluster -cleaned the contacts-and ensured all harnesses were properly fastened. Still nothing ?!#$*

Bad ground. Check the link from the battery ground cable to the body inside the battery box.

Its a relay

Look for a small ignition relay. Its the same relay as the horn, and fog lights. Switch them around so you have gauges, until you can get another relay. (But then you won't have either a horn or fog lights)
