listen to the doctor, also if you've had it apart recently, the plugs are sometimes finicky to go back in right, seem to work, but then could fall out down the road. but if you had the cluster out, you'd have probably checked that first before posting here.

You never know, you're cluster bearings might have failed causing the dislocation of the plugs...either that or cluster gnomes.

Odds are you shorted out the traces or something else along the lines. BTW, my Red lit stock faced gauges own all.

I had the same problem before but out of nowhere it got fixed. I tried to troubleshoot it with no luck but something always told me it had something to do with my distributor. I wish I really knew what happen.

about taking apart the cluster, haynes i'm pretty sure doesn't cover it. haynes sucks, anyway. its not hard to take apart, just remember don't pull off the needles because the gauges can get messed up. they don't always, but often they do.

check your hazard fuse under the hood and the turn signal fuse under the dash, if none of your blinkers work the cluster will sometimes act funny
