Default Gauge Cluster Problems

The entire gauge cluster on my 99 24v keep going out randomly... they'll stay on for a while then if I shut the truck off they wont come back on, but sometimes they'll stay on for 2-3 days, and even when they dont work the lights on them still do and my WTS and Parking Brake lights will still come on... I've had the cluster out and checked all the plugs and the wires that I can see and everything seems ok... I need help, I dont know what I need to be looking at

the gauge cluster is feed power from the fuse block at the left of the lower dash............pull the fuse and make sure the contac point are good and clean

so I take it that its not blowing fuses correct.............if so than this is a power interuption of some sorts

Weak circuit board .

Remove the cluster and with a bright light and magnifying glass look for a cracked solder run. Also look for compromised connections in the wiring pin out.
