Attempt a fix, purchase another OE cluster (they're plentiful in JYs. You might consider a 140), or an aftermarket set-up like the Covan which is cool but pricey.

Re: got a big big problem with my cluster

Had a funky electrical problem in my 88 IROC - turn on theright turn signal, several gauges would bounce in time with it, turn on the headlights, they would bottom out, the radio lost power, the right turn indicator stayed on. Turned out to be a bad cluster. Bought a replacement on Ebay with about the same miles. I Googled gauge cluster repair, there's places that do that, probably pricey. No new ones - discontinued, so I was told. Boneyard sounds like the cheapest option. I paid like $80 for my replacement, I think. Replaced all the bulbs while it was out, too.
