Default Gauge Cluster Issues

The tach and speedometer on my gauge cluster stopped working. My heads up display still shows the speed/tach. All of the other gauges in the cluster work fine. I am stumped...

Check for codes first. You may need to check the main connector on the rear of it which means nearly pulling it out.

Could a fuse be causing this?

I'm not sure why the Speedo and Tach are out, I doubt if it's the main connector if your HUD is functioning, do all the idiot lights still come on when you start the car?

I didn't think it was the main connector either with all the other gauges working. All of the lights still come on when I turn it on. Also sometimes as I am driving the speedometer jumps from 0 to 55 and stays at 55 no matter what speed I am traveling. The tach always rests at 0. Sometimes the speedo rests at 0 aswell, if it is not doing that it is at 55. I have no idea.

Here's a shot of the back of the IPC, those two groups of four screws towards the center are the Tach and Speedo connections. You can also follow those tracks up and make sure the middle ribbon cable is seated properly in the mother board....
