Default ABS Problems

Hello,

I drive an Audi A4 B5 2001 1.8T and I have a had a couple problems with it but this one has got me puzzled. I jumped in the car and turned it on, I noticed that the ABS light went off after a bit then turned off. But the problem is when it turned off, the speedo as well as every indicator on the dash board stopped working. This continued on... The ABS light would go off and the indicators would be go back to normal but the second the light turned off, the indicators went back to zero.... The indicator indicating that my lights are on and the display panel are not working at all even though the lights are actually on. Also, no codes are showing up

I really need the help on this one, I'm very confused and I need to be back in Savannah tomorrow, currently in North Carolina! Please HELP!

Sounds like its your instrument cluster.. Or maybe just a poor connection in the back.. They're pretty easy to remove and inspect

I took it out and disconnected the wires and connected them back... drove it for a while and it's fine at this point. I'm going to drive it tomorrow or later tonight and see if it does the same thing again!

Thanks for your input guys, I appreciate it a lot
