Default Gauges not working

So recently my gauges have all stopped working, at first it was just rpm and speedo not working, now there all dead I've allready went through and cleaned the connections on the back of the cluster and after I did that they all started working until I started it an hour later and there not working again... I ran them through the system check and all the gauges moved but once it ended they all died again... I have no clue what could be wrong... Any suggestions?

When you cleaned the connection did you make sure that the connection were tight too. Also did you clean and tighten the grounds?

Where are the grounds? If you mean the part of the connection that the unit plugs into then yes I cleaned it

If you have intermittant gauges and your truck is running okay it sounds like you need to do the TSB connector replacement. Kits are available from the dealer.
