Went to turn on the head lights as i was driving into a tunnel, and the guage cluster went dead and only both turn signal indicators glowed steady.

This lasted a few scary seconds, then everything came alive.

What could be going on ?

Have you checked the LKM?

Also could be dying battery or alternator, bad gauge capacitors, or a combination of those.

Add this to the list... It could be a poor/loose ground connections.

Lights all work fine, no flickering low beams..so I not sure about the LKM failing.

Battery is less than a year old.

Alternator seems to be charging, and the car runs all night without draining the battery.

Maybe a relay?

check the lkm anyway. its very quick and easy to inspect.

I tend to agree with the relay theory, makes the most sence with them symptoms...maybe just a fluke.

Can you please tell me how?? I mean inspect. Test for sure.

There are too many people here on the board which are change-ingeniers, but not engineers.

I agree, the slightest mention of anything regards light issues and they ignore the other related problems and say ITS THE LKM!!

id go with a short somewhere

shogun the lkm can have intermittent failure as you know.I had failure of my low beam only a couple of times.I took my car to the local auto electrician with Brunos write up.He said he could not replicate the low beam failure,and remelted the solder anyway.I have not a had a problem since.......

this is a good example of ignoring the facts and giving a reply...yes the LKM can have issues but you are ignoring the fact that the turn indicators glowed slightly...the turn indicators dont go through the LKM
