I was driving back from a longish trip and my digital instrument cluster, gas and temp gauges went blank and when I braked the chime came on continuously and rather loud. Two days ago the cluster went out but came back on, then yesterday it did the same thing when I hit a bump on the road. I made it home with the irritating chime on whenever I braked or sometimes when I took my foot of the gas.... and when I started the car up again in the driveway, everything seemed normal,...the instrument cluster came on like normal. So.....I will check the fuse tomorrow morning when it stops raining and hopefully that might do it...but that would not explain why the cluster lit when I restarted the car....what do you out there think...could it be the early signs of the alternator going...or what? Looking forward to you responses.....
