Post who repairs instrument pods?

That's one crazy mess back there! I've got some gages messed up. Car was sitting for awhile, went back and no temp, gas, oil pressure, or voltage! Weird.

The needle on the voltage gage is "sticky" when I gently move it with my finger.

Does anybody rebuild these things? It would be nice to have someone go through it and make sure everything works and put all new bulbs and circuit board on back.

It's possible the printed circuit board is fried. An easy fix for the 928 shadetree mechanic. You'll find some pictures of this repair at the bottom of:

Instrument cluster refurbishment is a simple job - perfect for the novice DIY'er.

All it takes is a simple meter for measuring continuity, and some replacement parts (bulbs, holders, flex circuit board).
