Sounds like the problems Bill Curlee has described with ignition switch problems. Crazy, erratic gauges is one of the symptoms. Did you look at your codes to see if anything was there? If so, post the codes and we'll get started on this. If not, then clear your codes, do some driving and read the codes immediately after it occurs. Many threads/examples on how to read the codes on the DIC.

like mine. Still have not found the cause. Codes were all 1096 com codes such as RDCM, LDCM, HVAC, Radio,etc . Bill , Lionel and Sam have been working on it with me on it. Follow the post here. Search " I am stumped." Some 60 posts so far.
