The connection to the blue film is none too good at the best of times, and I have found just removing / replacing the plug to be a cure for many sudden "ills" in the cluster. Best of all, it's free to try (though it's a pain to get to with the cluster in place, I have done it...). -- Don in Reidsville, NC 1986 Kawasaki Concours 1988 Vanagon GL (Sylvia) "Why do they call it a fixed income, if mine is always broke?" |
