    Dry joints in the voltage stabiliser in the dash head...take the dash cluster out and remove the gauges and you will see the pc board that does it....disconnect it and remove it......If you look real close there will be very small cracks (you can hardly see them with the naked eye)in the solder that joins the components to the pc board...get a soldering iron and a bit of resin cored solder and resolder them....that will fix it and the dash bashing will be a thing of the past.
