Guages and dash lights not working

[ljqtip]

My 2001 Boxster, has issues, The gauges and dash lights work intermittently, mostly not at all lately. Also my battery is dead some mornings and fine others. Anybody have any suggestions?:ah:

Sounds like a short. Start where power enters gauges and trace forward.
Is it all the gauges ?....just lights?.....digital??

It is the gauges and dash lights, I found that if I push the clock button when they are working they will start working , most of the time
