Gauge cluster ground problem.

I noticed it this morning. The left side ( Gas,Oil,Speedo) were working fine, the other side ( Volt, Temp, Tach) was completely out. Most of the time I can push on the cluster and they will work fine. I was thinking that this morning, but no dice. Even a bump in the road might woulda got them going. Does that side of the cluster ( or any side for that matter ) have a common ground in the cluster? I'm thinking there was a common ground if all the gauges on that side was nonfunctional.

Re: Gauge cluster ground problem.

im pretty sure theres a tech article on this somewhere in the main section, but its not uncommon for the circuits on the printed board to become damaged
