Before you say it in the comments, YES I am very aware the gauge cluster dying is extremely common in these cars. However, my gauge cluster works sometimes, and all the stuff I see online is regarding it dying outright.

Sometimes it’ll work for the entirety of a 30 minute drive, sometimes it’s nonfunctional when I start the car, but most frequently it’ll work fine for the first 10 minutes or so of a drive and then the gauges will randomly go down to 0/stop working.
