I have an F550 that the instrument cluster is going haywire. All the “dummy“ lights are on, the speedo, tach, temp, and fuel gauges does not work but the oil pressure and battery gauges do. Here’s the fun...

Do loaded circuit voltage testing at instrument cluster connecter's . You need a wiring diagram so you know what wire's to check.

On my 2002 Trailblazer, when I start the engine, all my dash warning lights on and gauges stop working, the speedo and tach still work.

There is a known problem with the ignition starter switch that causes this, this is the switch that the ignition key operates when you turn it.

My cars gauges just stopped working last weekend.

Could be a fuse. Have somebody who knows about cars look at the instrument cluster fuse to see if the wire inside is broken.

2003 Satria, Tacho and Fuel gauge dont work . Fuel gauge comes up now & again low fuel light works. Tacho works now & again. But speedo and temp do work all the time.

It may be that the speedo and temp are mechanical, whereas the tach and fuel are electrical. Check fuse for inst. cluster for clean and tight fitment. Check electrical connection at back of inst. cluster.

Tach and speedometer gauges intermittently stay at zero

Sounds like a problem in the cluster. These years of VW the clusters could be repared but by someone who knows what they are doing seeing it's printed boards.
