I had the same problem with the '98, except I lost power to all the gauges too. I never figured out what happened, but it fixed itself and I stopped worrying. I wish I could help you out here, but now you got me all interested on what happens so I can maybe find what caused mine!

Had the same problem just this week,Air bag light would come on all guages would stop working...it would do this off and on all day now everything has worked perfect for a couple of days. I did some research and found some one who had the exact same problem his result was to remove the cluster wire connector and clean it.

davy I think yours is related to the light switch. If you can't find a bad fuse then I would replace the headlight switch and you should then have dash and console lights.
