Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The gauges on my dashboard don't work anymore. this started about a year ago or so. they would start by flickering a little bit and eventually moved on to not working at all. i've gone through this entire summer without them working. my speedometer doesn't work, i can't tell how many miles are on my digital odometer, my gas gauge doesn't work, the rpm meter doesn't work, and the temp gauge is out. this problem has also affected my horn. i had to remove the fuse to the horn because it was stuck in a constant on position with the horn blaring everytime i went to start the car. i notice that the gauges usually don't work when it's warm or really hot out. it tends to work alright in the winter months when it's colder outside. however, after a few minutes of driving or letting the car warm up, the gauges go out again. if anyone has any information on how this was fixed, what the problem actually is, or how much it costs, please help me out. thanks so much! *ak
