Default gauge cluster..please help

have'n some problems with my gauges. one min they will work perfectly fine. the next they wont work at all. the next everything will work except the speedo. then sometimes they quit working and the lights will dim and both my turn signal lights will come on (only on the inside, not on outside). then if you punch the top of the dash or push on the lens of the gauges they will sometimes start to work again. i know it isn't in the cluster because i replaced it like 5 times. please help.

It is pretty common, so it is possible. Did you reflow any of the connections?

Mine does that alot. All I do is give it a nice firm push. Make sure the plugs are in. Works everytime.
