My wife's 1993 940 wagon (automatic trans) has a bunch of instrument cluster related problems. It started 2 years ago when the speedo went out. I got a replacement cluster off eBay and all was fine. Then about a year ago (I'm slow sometimes) the speedo went out again. This time the tach, gas gauge, cruise control no longer work and a bunch of instrument panel indicator lights appear to not function. The clock, turn signals and instrument panel lighting still work.

When you turn the car on the OD light comes on, the seat belt warning light comes on (if you don't have on a seat belt) and the instrument cluster backlights come on. When you start the car the temp gauge comes to life and the OD light stays on. If you press the OD switch on the shift lever the OD light goes out AND the temp gauge quits. The OD light must be on for the car to shift normally (which used not to be the case before these problems).

I have reseated all the connectors on the instrument cluster and checked the ground behind the driver's kick panel. I have wiggled all the relays in the fuse panel area and pulled the OD relay out of it's case and all looks good but STILL NO:

Speedo
Tach
Gas Gauge
Cruise Control

HELP!!! The wife wants to get a Honda but I can't stand the thought of a FWD car...
