I've had my Instrument Panel out to work on the speedometer/odometer and I had a hard time removing it because the top edge had gotten caught on the sheet metal edge of the interior of the dash. The sheet metal bent downward and I tried to straighten it again.

Now I have problems with the lights for the three sets of primary guages of the panel.(the three circles... speedometer etc. O O O) At times one or two of them light up ,sometimes none of them. If I move the panel out and in and wiggle it some the lights will all come on.

Does anyone know what the problem might be? I suspect a ground or grounds of some sort.

Thanks and smiles.
