Glad I could help. The additional advice on cleaning/tightening all the contacts, etc., is right on the money.
Also check the plastic bulb sockets carefully. The little tabs that hold them tight when you twist them in tend to deform and crack, sometimes breaking one side off entirely. I also bend the little copper tabs a bit so the socket fits the circuit board 'tighter'. They are available new so I always replace any that are questionable.
It sure is a nice feeling of accomplishment to have all the gauges and lights working properly.
