INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER WENT BLANK WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING LOSS OF GAUGE FUNCTION AND ALL TELL-TALE INDICATORS EXCEPT FOR ABS, SIR, PARK BRAKE AND SERVICE ENGINE SOON. CHECKED FUSES AND LET THE VEHICLE SIT. STARTED VEHICLE FOLLOWING DAY TO CHECK, INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER WORKED. DRIVING VEHICLE FOLLOWING DAY, INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER WORKING, CLUSTER WENT BLANK AFTER DRIVING FOR 15 MINUTES. PARKED VEHICLE, CHECKED 1 HOUR LATER, CLUSTER BLANK, THEN FADED IN AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES. THIS OCCURRED AT LEAST 2 MORE TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND IS STARTLING WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. WHEN RESEARCHING TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS I OBSERVED A RECALL FOR THE 1996 SEVILLE, NOT THE DEVILLE, BUT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID# IS 95V224000 FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD# 101. *TR
