Gauges Going Crazy
I have a 2002 L-Series. The change oil light came on not two weeks ago
(not changed yet) but today while picking up my son I turned on the engine and the Security light, ABS, Service all came on and while driving home (5 minute drive) the fuel gauge and Temp gauge kept going down to Empty/Cold respectively then they'd bounce back up. While the gauges were down the care would studder and all panal lights would dim. We have been having issues with a rough idle while stopped in gear or not. Are these related? |

Check your alternator or a lose or dirty connection. |

As Paul Wrote, check that the battery and charging system are in good order
first. These cars seem do do strange things at low battery voltages. AFIK the instrument cluster is driven by the BCM. Best to get the codes read out first by a good shop and then decide what to tackle. Sounds like a loose circuit but whether it's a power circuit or the CAN bus, can't say.
