electrical problems in dash cluster 200 1989

Gentlemen! Thanks Machine man,Art & 3peat all great answers. I checked the D+ wire a year or so ago and all checked out. As far as the ignition switch (and the light switch I might add) I disassembled both of them and cleaned contacts etc. this summer and the little gremlin remained! Oh and by the way yes sometimes smacking the dash did the trick when the headlight trick did not. After I posted the post the other night I went to Turbo bricks and found some stuff on the cluster and bad solder joints. The post was based on 740&940's clusters and explained that after 30 years solder joints sometimes get loose. Wahla! The 240's cluster is different as one has to disassemble the board from the back of the seen instrument panel in order to see the "printed circuit" board. And there was the gremlin, the post from the flex fuse had become lose in the solder connection. Nailed it Art! Interesting enough every other joint looked to have a roll of solder per joint except for that one! Thanks again guy's and hope everybody enjoys the holiday season.

Now- 89 245,87 245(Parts car), 91 240. Past- 92 740, 91 940 blacked out turbo wagon(that was fun until the X got it ! )

Cheers!
