Default Speedometer/Tachometer Trouble

The other day i was driving home and lost the lighting to my cluster, my heat and Air controls and my Shifter. Along with that I started to randomly get a no buS reading in my odometer reading and i lose the tach and speedometer when it reads no buS. Im stumped as to what it can be. Any ideas?

common for 97+
Pull the cluster out and clean all electrical contacts, dab with dialectric grease, and reinstall. Should fix it.

Check your fuse and wiring for int. lights.

Do a search for "no bus" (with quotes) and do some reading, Im sure youll find some useful info.

I had that happen in my 94xj, but after going through a big mud hole.. I found the alternator was jammed full of mud. Not saying yours is, but maybe it's cutting in and out..
