With the speedo cluster removed, you will see many brown ground wires connected to a common bolt. Remove the bolt, clean all ground wires and reinstall the cluster making sure the guide pin on the multiwire connector is correctly plugged in. Be aware that the oil gauge is mechanical, so be gentle in removing the oil line at the back of the cluster, use 2 wrenches! DO NOT start car with cluster removed. You will shoot oil all over the front seat!! Window fuse contacts could be pitted or have weak tension on the fuse ends.
