Forrest 35 Report post Posted July 20, 2009 Have you checked the ground wire for the instrument cluster? I can' t remember where it is, I had similar troubles with the backlight of my cluster. Also fuses? Obviously you have. The nuts on the back of the gauges where it tightens to the back of the cluster tight? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark 178 Report post Posted July 21, 2009 Have you pulled out the Service Indicator board and checked it's OK? The batteries on these die and can leak acid onto the circuit board causing havoc with the gauges. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
