2000 Maxima Gauges stop working in heat...

I have a 2000 Maxima. For a few years now, when the heat is around 85 or above outside or while driving and the heat builds up, the dash gauges begin to act up or go out completly. Anyone had this problem or have any insight to this problem? I don't see the issue when the weather is cool except after driving awhile. Thanks in advance...

you can try that ^^ Or you can take the cluster out, loosen and then re-tighten the screws on the back to ensure a good connection. I'd do that first.
