OK, you asked for ideas, and I'm not real sure, but, somewhere I've read that the grounding for the gages were a problem. The cure suggested was to add a second ground wire from the grounding area to the frame. Anyway, just an idea, at least a starting point. Good luck.

Figured it out..... took the under dash panel out and moved a few connectors around, turns out some dingleberry left the gauge cluster connecter partially disconnected... after 15 minutes of laying on my back with a flashlight in my hand! problem solved! thanks!
