Question

what caurses the gauges on the dash board of dutch neon 1996 to stop working now and then? I mean the fuel gauge,speedometre etc

Answer 1

Common problem on early Neons.  The solder points on the circuit board ( back of cluster ) break which leads to intermittent contact.  Pull the cluster out and resolder the break(s)

Answer 2

you have to change the gauges on the dash. i had that problem with my chevy and i thought it had something to do with the transmission but it wasnt. hopefully its just a sensor

Answer 3

the connectors to the Gages packagedon'tt plug in good they are fixed in slots then you are supposed to plug the gauges into them but the mounting screws for the gauge package bottom out before they plug into theconnectorss good i took mine out of the slot cot the back pieces off the connectors that held them in the slots andManuelypluggedd them to the gauges then put it in and replaced the screws no moreproblemm and if your car is a auto trans this will fix theproblemm with that too
