Check the fuses?

Otherwise you may need to check the connection on the back of the unit.

Check the fuses first and if not remove the dash to see if its loose connections.

Thanks 4 the help, checked the fuses and removed the instrument cluster checked all connections even striped down the unit to see if there were any dry joints,still no joy!!! put all back together and tried one last thing,with the ignition on pulled the no 12 fuse and replaced,,, at last movement, after removing and replacing the fuse several times the gauges stayed on,i am sure that it is a relay
located some where by the fuses,, oh one last thing,while doing this the airbag failer light is now staying on,any one know how to reset this???????

For the airbag light you are going to have to go to a dealer to have it reset (im unsure if an independent garage can reset it but i doubt it) i think its about £50 to reset it at the dealer but if its not bufgging you then i would leave it as this is a common fault on brava/o and marea's

Re: all instuments stopped working

Had a complete battery failer a week ago fited a new battery instruments failed after that but did not disconect the battery before the airbag light stayed on,instruments still on then off so it must be a loose connection somewhere but where????? the clocks on the same fuse but does not go off.
