I have seen this before (not on Jags) and I have repaired this problem. I have found that where the wiring harness connects to the circuit board for the dash. The pins that are on the circuit board will crack their solder joints. I think this happens with regular driving and the weight of the cable to the connector. I might be wrong as to how or why it happens but I have repaired a dozen of these things and it has almost always been the same. Especially the ground for some reason. Usually the ground pin is on one side or the other of the connector. You will need to remove the circuitboard in the dash and use a magnifying glass to study the solder joints. Any cracks you find should be desoldered and resoldered. Yes those are 2 different tools. Look at the ground pin I bet it's your problem.
