Hi guys, i have a 2005 prado 1gr fe since 250k km wich now has 360k, great time with it and super happy with it, not long ago my gauges started to stay stucked when i turn off the ignition (fuel, revs, temp), when i turn on the ignition the gauges go back down flickering and go to where they are suposed to just like this video https://youtu.be/w_qD3BSrptQ in the comments they talk about the "illumination fuse" or some other fuse, so i checked every fuse in the car but every one of them was ok (checked continuity with multimeter) so i dont know were the problem may be coming from.

(Battery voltage is ok, alternator voltage is ok too arround 14.6, every fuse is ok,)

Anyone of you has had this problem?
how do you solved it?

There is two power sources for the instrument panel, a ignition circuit that powers it when the ignition is on and a backup circuit that provides power to the instrument panel. The backup circuit powers the panel so that the gauges can drive home when the ignition is turned off. One of the radio fuses supplies backup power to the instrument panel, most likely it has gone missing.

Symptoms will be as you wrote, when you turn off the ignition gauges stop where they are at the time, when you turn the ignition on gauges will drive home at reset to idle resting position.
