Pardon the dumb question, but which is the ground? EDIT: Found the answer in the BW link you provided.

As far as I know, everything is now plugged in that was plugged in when I pulled the cluster.

Evidence is starting to point to something not plugged in securely, however... the gauge problem came back on my drive home and it's a factor of hitting bumps. The connector must still be loose.

And the ground is in the round connector... booyeah.

The advice in the BW thread about adding a ground triggered a memory that old Volvos had a similar problem (and fix).

The glow behaviour is going to be another issue, I suspect, as it's acting up independent of the light working or not.
