Other times, they will act completely dead. Some time during the drive, they will function and then quit at will. IT'S DRIVING ME NUTS!!!!!! I put another instrument pod into the vehicle, and the same symptoms appear, so I am ruling out that the problem is in the gauges themselves. Could it be the ignition V+ supply is not steadily reaching the instrument panel through the multipin connector? Any one have this problem? Any leads would be appreciated......... gary
