I'm in the middle of tryin to fix my instrument cluster because my needle in my speedometer is goin crazy, my gauges arent working except for the fuel, the bulbs are no longer turning on, and im throwing tools and i fear for the garages safety. Does anyone have any ideas? idk whats wrong the bulbs, the one behind the gauges just seems like it barely is making contact, but the ones behind the speedo arent even turning on now. im getting extremely frustrated with it. i have it disconnected and laying on the work bench.

PLEASE HELP ME! lol

I replied to your other post on this problem . . .
See it for other suggestions.

Clean your contacts with alcohol and a swab.
Inspect the circuit board for burns, chaffing, etc.
Replace your bulbs with your choice, long life clear,
colors, leds, whatever. You can remove the plastic color covers to get a bit more brightness.

There is a voltage regulator on some of those circuit panels, that would also be a suspect.
