Default Neon dash - on and off

I have a 1996 Dodge Neon, 2.0l 5 speed, black, 4 door......
Dash goes on and off - when it wants,
sometimes the speedo works, sometimes the whole dash doesnt work,
sometimes it all works. Speed and gear, etc do not affect it.
Usually first thing in the am - everything works, then speedo usually quits first,
and then everything else......
Seems like it ran rough for a short time (2 mins) when the guages quit the first time!
HELP!

99K miles, and not getting many more...............

Sounds like a loose connection, plug, or a short in the wiring.

check the back of the cluster connector, remove dash cluster and apply dielectric grease to the connector.
