Gauge cluster shuts OFF

Guys, had a weird issue today while driving I noticed my gauge cluster every gauge besides voltage and I think OIl Pressure went dead including tach and speedo and odometer lcd. The odd part is if I press in the clutch it comes back on and works perfect let off the clutch and it goes away.

Anyone have any Ideas? 2000 Camaro ss 6speed

I suspect a bad/loose connection and/or ground

If it were me, I'd take the cluster out and inspect it and the harness. You can also take your fist and beat on the (not TOO hard) passenger side of dash and see if it flickers that way. It could be a solder going bad/cracked on the BCM.

I had a similar issue in my E150 van and it was the connector going into the cluster.

If you have T-Tops and they've leaked a lot over the years it could be corrosion from water/moisture somewhere in the harness causing a short. I don't think I've ever heard of a gauge cluster going out?
