Is the trip reseting when you start it or does it not even come on? If he trip is reseting and all the gauges are flipping over you probably have a bad console. There is a service bullitin out for the reseting trip but it doesnt pose a harm so GM wont do anything.

Well since its getting power and everything else works I would have to say its internal. A good place to start would be to find one in a junk yard or if your made of money go to the stealership and get a new one.
