You did remove the batteries and put a filament type light bulb across the positive and negative to drain the capacitors? ..... probably the place to look if you are into repairing it, the cap looses its ability to hold the charge and causes the intermittent failures.
I only know this from fixing the Prius Gen 2 dash failure problem that was common to the early generations, wrong choice of capacitor from new, replaced it with the correct value and a $1500 part is fixed for a few cents ..... and a lot a swearing removing the whole dash assembly to get the circuit board out ......
The speedo would work if left over night, but a short run, ignition off, then attempt to restart, no speedo, fuel gauge, odometer, high beam light and few other bits .... including no cruise control ..... a real pain in the butt
