Re: help

i have a similar thing- when i turn on my flashers, my temp gauge bounces around on every flash. It's only the flashers, not on regular turn signals.

normally bad grounds cause these problems, but hard to say.

Re: help

Have you checked grounds or anything? (note: if you pull your cluster and have cruise, unhook the cable from the cruise switch. I found that out the hard way so right now my speedometer is working with electrical tape...)
