I have a 98 frontier that none of the gauges on the dash work. sometimes they work and then go back off. The speed odometer and temp gauge,gas gauge all gauges don't work. could anybody give a clue where to check? I've already checked the fuse under the dash.

Remove the meter assembly, tighten all the screws on the printed circuit board. Tighten the grounds behind the left and right kick panels. If that doesn't help, most likely it will need a unified meter control unit( the whole meter assy.)
