I just got done removing the guage cluster in my '82 to try to fix my screwy guages. I can see how there is a bad contact issue. The Printed circuit board is so flimsy and the connector so cheap its a wonder that it even works. I'm surprised that all my guages don't work. GM really should have thought ahead on that one. :mad:

ive taken mine out so many times its just not funny. ive tried cleaning it like 10 times. sometime i fix the problem i was tring for (gas gauge...etc) but then something else gets messed up. ive just given up and besides it is a confidence booster seeing you gas gauge at 200%!!! :D

I'll bet your confidence would hit rock bottom when your tank runs dry while showing 200%.
