    Default car acting up

    -headlights dont light up only when i hold the high beam as soon as i let go, no lights

    -cluster lights up but none of the gauges work
    (was working at one point in time, i gave it gas to check the RPM would go up and it did for a sec and then it died. it seems like something went out)
    -any ideas?
    im thinking fuse issue

    reps for any helpful hints

    fuse for the cluster, or you just got a bad cluster all together. for your headlights could be your fuse, light bulbs, or even light bulb socket. hope this helps. use a test light to see if your fuse are working

    most likely a fuse issue,you should check all fuses or maybe not even the fuse it might be the whole switch connector has gone bad,that switch that controls your dash/park lighyt,turn signals and headlights etc

    possible but start by checking fuses and your switch you can buy another one replace it and see if problem still exists return the switch and then check wiring

    Sounds to me you need a headlight switch


    and about the cluster issue I think its either bad cluster or something is shorting out in the fuse block under the dash...take the cluster out an inspect it!
