MQ instrument cluster problem

All right guys i have another problem. The gauges on the dash stopped working, the battery one still works but the other ones don't. They went on and off a couple of times but now nothing. I tried the dash off my other MQ and the same thing happens. This dash worked fine until i pulled some plugs underneth the drivers seat on that 4be for body repairs. I will look around that part in the new car and hope i can find some answers.
If anyone has this problem before or seen anything like it, help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Dude had the EXACT same problem not two weeks okay. Turned out that a couple of plugs near the battery on the drivers side were gunked up and all corroded.

ill check the battery clamps then, but i think i have fixed it, the fuse for the radio and cigarette lighter was blown. i replaced it and it seems to be working again.

yeah my dash is still in intermitant mode with the 3 gauges, i will buy some contact cleaner tomorrow and clean heaps of plugs.
if that fails, can anyone make a suggestion on where else i can look?

if anyone is interested it was the 12v fuses in the fuse box. they were old and not making good contact. Well thats what a auto electrician said after he fixed it.
