The symptoms described matched mine. Dim dash lights, turn signal and high beam indicator glowing in the otherwise darkened dash. Last night, I turned on the lights and reached behind the cluster - somewhat of a tight fit with my arm - and there is some wire or connection loose. I think it might be the 90 degree white connector that slips on to the circuit board - the cluster has been removed so many times and that connection is just a friction fit. I had the car voltage regulator checked last time the car was in the shop, so I knew that was not the problem. So simple - wish I'd done it this way before.
