Check your fuse panel. If fuse is ok, have some one check the output of your alternator.

SOURCE: all gauges on instument cluster not working

In most vehicles there is a wiring harness that runs under your dash to your heater etc. Sometimes the main plug comes loose. If you open up the steering column or somewhere down by your feet on the steering column is the main plug - look in your manual and track the wires with a tester ensuring you have power all the way to whatever is not working. If there is no power at the main plug then you might have a ground problem or a loose wire in the plug itself. Good luck

Gauges working I intermittently on 96 Dodge Dakota 3.9l

bad cluster or bad wires /connetors to it.
one crummy dodge we worked on
had to re-solder the whole back of the cluster to make it work. the cluster was not up actual normal car vibrations. sad but true ! yes a poor design.!
many solder points were in fact cracked. (stress)
on rear PCB of said cluster.
used lead free solder with water solvable flux.
1996 car is old and we know this happens then.

I have a 1993 dakota 3.9 v6 replaced fuel pump,had wiring checked, and replaced cluster but fuel gauge still doesn't work any help would be greatful

Was the sending unit replaced

You say you had something done or checked

We have over 300 new people a day, come to this
site alone, that have not found a repair shop or dealer
that can resolve anything, at all

Why is that,I ask?

I have 1992 dakota factory manuals from mine old one

If you get specific about serious wire chasing I will
look things up for you.

What makes gauges work none of them are working

if none of your gauges are working, then you have a wiring problem with the gauge cluster. check all the connectors going into the cluster for tightness and any dirty or corroded connectors
