check your fuse under the hood, but thats probly not going to be it.
Its most likely the cluster going bad, thats the same symptoms that mine did have be4 it broke( except on mine no gauges work).
try unplugging the fuse and then plugging it back in, it resets the cluster.

To me it sounds like your sender is going bad, its not that hard to change out, I took mine out to install a walbro fuel pump, its pretty easy, if its the sender, anyone have other thoughts??

Sounds like the S/U in the tank. Mind went out around 18,000 and she threw a code also.

May be your guage cluster... my 03 did the same thing before the dealer fixed it...

To this day I'm still not sure if it was the sensors going bad or the actual gauge cluster. Mine did the same thing though when I stepped on it. The MPH gauge did not work until I hit about 80MPH so I'm honestly not quite sure

Are you throwing any codes? My cluster stopped working one day and I got a BUS error. Cluster wasn't communicating with the other components....
