Default Needles sticking

Lately in the mornings(not every morning tho) my needles(tach & speedo) would stick. they both stay on 0... i would let it warm up then my tach would come up sometimes or only after 3k... and my speedo would do the same or would "catch up" after 30mph.... has anyone else had this problem? if so how did u fix it? When this happened i thought it was my cluster goin out but b4 i go and buy a new one i thought i would ask 1st

If they are both sticking then I'd say the motor elements are bad in both. If it were just one it could be a sensor that controls either one that is sticking. Likely replacement is needed.
