fixed it today....checked all the fuses and they were ok then took off all the grounds and cleaned them and put them back on and now it is fine...amazing what a bad ground will do to these new vehicles...lol....so when this happens to someone else,check all your fuses and grounds first before u take it to the stealership!!!!

none of them were loose and they all looked good but i took them off and grinded a little on them and cleaned them up and put them back on and it was fixed....i even did the ground on the battery too...so i cant really say which one it was but i think it was the problem because i had no gages for three days straight and as soon as i did that it was ok...so if u are having this problem just clean them all...the one on the power steering pump, the one on the fender,the one hooked to the box by the fuses and check the fuses too....hope this helps anyone out!!!!....dont get this confused with the vehicle speed sensor....if it is the vss u will have some gages and if it is the bad instrument cluster or bad grounds u will lose all the gages and the lights will come on,and with the vss u will have a speedometer after 20 mph i am pretty sure!!!!
