so i juss got a car... its a 92 se coupe... problem is that part of the gauge cluster goes out.. let me explain
when i turn on the car, sometimes the digital speedo wouldnt turn on along with the HUD but its not just that.. the odometer doesnt work along with the light that lights up the rpm gauge... but the rest of the little lights work such as the seatbelt light check engine light.. all that
so is it a ground? fuse? i checked all the fuses (a-ok) so let me kno thanks

1) You already checked the fuses, so why would you think it was fuse?
2) Please, for the love of god, get this 'bad ground' shit out of your head. There are no bad grounds in the OE harness that would cause the type of problems you're having. There is a common ground for 90% of the dash harness, if it was bad nothing would work. Ever. The person who originated this nonsense about grounds mysteriously going bad deserves nothing less than feces in the eye, followed by a bullet.
The light behind the tach, it's a bulb, replace it. the HUD is a typical problem, search for other posts where people have discussed repair or temporary fixes.

if your speedo doesnt work, the odometer wont work, the odometer is run off of the speedo, so fix the speedo and your odometer will also magically be fixed, have you tried removing the gauge cluster and inspecting it?

Stripped gear in the odometer, common problem. You can either swap out the speedometer unit and reset the mileage or have it repaired.

no no.... the odometer works but only when the hud, digital speedo, and dash lights work... either its on or off... but the little bulbs like check engine light and seatbelt always work...
