Gauge cluster question
Seems that everytime my car gets cold or i am first starting it up the whole gauge cluster goes nuts like the tach and speedo and fuel all bounce up to the very top and come back down and also my trip odm. also resets. Then the other night i had mine out and my serivce vehicle light comes on and stays on. then i turn the car off and go to work and i come back out after i got off and now its not on anymore but then my check gauges light comes on and i pull off and turn the car off and then turn it back on and it goes off. What is going on lol......

OMG, this is about the six thousandth thread asking about the same thing.
USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!
To answer your question. I suggest you investigate your battery and all it's connections. Often that is the problem. I'm not sure what to tell you about the service/guages lights.

Sorry for being harsh. It was not my intention.
Search button is your friend.
I'm thinking there's a possibility that it could all be battery/cable connection related. No way to tell for sure.(for me anyway)

Trip Odometer Resets to Zero (Exchange/Install Instrument Cluster) #99-08-49-009 - (Jul 23, 1999)
Trip Odometer Resets To Zero (Exchange/Install Instrument Cluster)
1999 Chevrolet Camaro
1999 Pontiac Firebird
Condition
Some customers may comment that the trip odometer resets to zero when starting the engine.
Cause
Ambient temperatures below 0° C (32° F), combined with low battery voltage, may cause the trip odometer memory to be erased when starting the vehicle.
Correction
To identify the instrument panel cluster part number, use the following procedure:
Install Tech 2 and from the main menu screen select F0: Diagnostics, press enter:
Select 1999, press enter.
Select Passenger Car, press enter.
Select F1: Body, press enter.
Select F, press enter.
Select the Proper nameplate, press enter.
Select the Engine, press enter.
Select F1: Instrument Panel Cluster, press enter.
Select F1: Data Display, press enter.
Select F0: Module Info. press enter.
The Tech 2 will now display the instrument panel cluster part number. If the part number is shown in the table below as the old part number, install a new part number exchange cluster which has had the new circuit board with the non-volatile memory chip installed. Order the cluster from your A/C Delco® Service Center. DO NOT ORDER A CLUSTER FROM GMSPO.
