Okay fellas, I've had the cluster out, tweaked the terminals and used dialectric grease, all worked fine for a while.
Now it's gone batshit crazy again.
I popped the two connectors off the metal dash so I could wiggle them a little while plugged in, and it seems to be the right side one with the issue.
I can get the gauges to flicker about occasionally, but they never work properly. The warning lights all seem to work.
I've given all the wires into the back of the connectors a gentle tug and none of them appear to be loose inside the connector.
It looks like you should be able to pinch the two small red tabs and pull the loom connector from the large black/grey blocks, but I couldn't get them apart.
I examined the loom behind there and don't see any obvious rubs, cuts, etc.
Anyone got a suggestion?
Looks like replacement dashes are hard to find unless I go to eBay and roll the dice.
I'd like to try replacing the black and grey connector blocks first, but I haven't found anywhere to buy them - and I'll take some advice on getting the plugs out the back too!
Sorry for the long note and, I know, I should've taken some pics when it was all apart, but from all the chatter about TJ dashes on here, I think most of you have seen behind them!
Thanks in advance...
