Check your fuses. The ones under the dash on the driver's side, and the ones in the engine bay on the passenger side.

If it's not fuses then it's a corrosion issue. The metal cross bar under the 240sx dash always rusts really bad. And thats where 90% of the dash grounds are attatched to.

Also, over time corrosion will build up on the electrical connections for the gauge cluster and such.

I would check grounds first. I however do not remember where they all are.

Wow! A few years back I bought like 3 of them from a junkyard for $10 each!

Keep looking! You'll find one somewhere $100 is way too much!
