speaking of wiring gremlins



I have a similar problem in my 84 Cabby - sometimes, inexplicably,
everything in the cluster except the speedo stops (WTF??). I actually used
this as a negotiating tool when I bought it!

POunding on the dash has no effect...  ;)

I can't begin to tell you how stoked I was when all I did was take the
cluster out, clean it and its contacts up a tad and threw it back in and it
worked...

But now it still does it intermittently - don't know why though. But I don't
have an overheating problem like you..

I actually just picked up a newer cluster (w/ 60k fewer miles and a clear
lens) from a yard for $23 - haven't had a chance to put it in yet though...

Please keep us posted!  Thanks,

Jeff
