Dash Controls going crazy!

Dash Controls going crazy!
I have a 2000 monte carlo ss with the message display center. First thing, my odometer display(digital) doesnt light up anymore. Then my gas gauge and oil level gauge are both off and fluctuating as i drive which causes the message center to inaccurately display "low oil pressure" and "low fuel". Now wen i drive it says my tire pressure is low but its not cuz i checked all of them. Do I need an individual sending unit for both the oil and gas gauge or is it just the whole electronic dash module itself? Could the actual tire sensor itself be bad or is it just a part of the actual dashboard itself going bad? Whats it cost to get this repaired? cuz i dont wana spend $500 like i did on my grand am..
Please help..thanx

I'm not sure on that, I think over time they all will need replaced/fixed and it is probably a pita to do yourself. Hopefully someone else can give you some better advice?

I thought that i would add wen i get a full tank of gas, the gauge reads correctly. Its not until ive used about a quarter of gas is wen it starts to read improperly. This is why i was unsure on whether its the sending unit or the cluster itself. But then my mileage reading doesnt show up anymore and i know this is part of the cluster. And my gauges do go back to zero wen the car is off so they arent stuck. So could it be both the cluster and oil and fuel sending units? im so confused..lol
