    The digital gauges in my LeBaron start and stop working internittantly. I
    can start up the car and they would all be out (except sometimes the left-
    most gauge, the one that displays, DTE, avg mpg, etc) and then 5 miles down
    the road, they all suddenly light up (though sometimes even the actual
    mialage will only show "------).

    What could be the problem, how would I fix it?

    Sounds like a bad connection, quite possibly on the printed circuit.
    Fixing it is simple - finding it is a different story completely.

    Find an instrument cluster in a wrecking yard for your LeBaron then
    swap them. If the problem goes away it's in the old cluster (most likely)
    If not then it's in the wiring to the cluster.

    If all the gauges go out in the cluster. The cluster is no good. You can
    send it out thru Chrysler and get an exchange unit for about $300.
    if you cant find one at the local salvage yard.

    It was intermittant for a while, but the left-most digital guage (the one
    that displays, avg mpg, etc.) is on and stays on.

    Who would know how to look at it and know if it's just a loose wire? What
    would entail finding this out?

    If any part of the display is bad or you cannot use the buttons it has to be
    sent out for repairs
