Thank you both TK and Data, but that's not it. I've already been there and done that. The wire was in fact bad and I replaced it. I know it's good now because the ABS light doesn't come on anymore when I go around a hard right turn. The problem is definitely related to the temperature in the interior of the car, which says to me it is in the cluster.

I should have mentioned in the original post that it is a 90 cluster, in an 88 car, which has a set of problems all its own---speedometer has an error which increases with speed, it reads slow at speeds over about 25, and will not read beyond 55 or so, which is actually about 75-80. I am more concerned with having an odometer that works (it reads correctly) so I can keep an eye on my mileage and service intervals.
