HELP!

I recently had a complete primary instrument cluster failure. The
speedometer, fuel, temperature, digital odometer and digital shift
indicator all stopped working....it does come back
sporadically...usually lasting for a several seconds (enough to glance
at the fuel guage!) then goes out again.

Secondary instruments all work including the warning panel above the
primary cluster.  'Check Engine Light' is also illuminated....vehicle
running fine.....might this indicate the cluster problem??

Fuses look good.  I even removed (for about twenty minutes or so) the
'IOD' fuse from the fuse box under the hood....hoping this might
clear any computer/communication glitches...unsuccessful.

Any help/experiences appreciated.  Thanks!  SW
