Instrument cluster issue
Hi All,
I have a question.
Yesterday suddenly, my center digital gauge read out went blank. No speedo, tire pressure etc. I stopped, turned the car off and a half hour later it was working. Same thing happened today just briefly again and then it corrected itself....the side gauges are fine...what do you think?

That's really odd Tom.
Seems to me if that portion of the display was truly bad, it would just completely stop working and not come back. To me, that indicates that the display is not the culprit - something feeding the data to it is the issue.
When I've had quirky problems with the electronics like this in the past, I've had some success with disconnecting the battery (removing the negative battery terminal connection) and leave it disconnected for 20 minutes or so. Then reconnect it. That will reinitialize things and may resolve the issue you're having. (You will get some PASM malfunction errors showing up when you first start the car, but they will go away quickly after you start to drive the car.
Hope all is well otherwise.

Put a code reader on it and see if anything pops up. Durametric will let you re-boot the instrument cluster.
