electical problem? SRS light

[Backinajiffy12]

Ok this problem happened when I first got my car. I would be driving along and I would lose power to my RPM gauge and my MPH gauge and it would happen intermittently. It went away and I never thought about it again. But just recently its been doing it again. It happens every once and a while but when it happens my SRS light comes on, and as soon as I start driving it goes away. What would that be? I have checked the alt. fuse and its ok. What else would it be?

There is a plug behind the radio that feeds the speedo & tach. That plug could be loose and cause the connection to be lost to the gauges. Do all your cluster lights (backlighting) stay on when you loose your gauges?

 

[Backinajiffy12]

yeah all the lights stay on.

Yea, definately check the connection behind the radio. I don't recall the harness color, but I believe there are only 3 or 4 bigger ones back there.

Alright sweet! thanks man I let you knwo if it works.

So I pulled out my radio, and looked in there and noticed no lose connections. So i pressed down on all of the connections just to double check. But it is still doing it. Can you help me or show me which connection it is?

Anyone know which connector it is, or any other possible solutions?

So im sorry to bring this back up but the problem is still happening and now the seatbelt light comes on sometimes...could it be my altornator?

does the SRS light still come on? the SRS is for your airbags. If it doesnt come on and now the seat belt comes on Id say theres a electrical issue. A bad alt wouldnt cause this from what I know. If the alt was bad your battry wouldnt last long and you will get stuck on the side of the road.

 

[Backinajiffy12]

yes but my needles also die but the car runs awsome

Ok so now none of my stock gauges work, I have no power windows or sunroof, but power locks still work, no rear defroster, and my turbo timer stays running with the brake down....what the hell is going on?
