Hey everyone.
My gas gauge went weird a month ago (gone far right, unreliable) and I figured it was bad connections under the drivers side passenger. Since it's winter here and mucky, I decided to wait until spring. Today, coming back from Montreal, my tachometer went berserk and before I made it home, my speedometer was totally off. Temp gauge works fine.
Go for it everyone! What's up?
P.S. How do you remove the cluster?

Update!
I took out the cluster (it's pretty easy) checked it over, looked at all the wires coming into the dash, put it all back and the tach and speedometer now work fine. Either the connector was loose, or there was a wire touching a ground somewhere. There's lots of sharp metal and plastic back there. The gas gauge reads half and may be correct but I'll have to wait a while to see if it's OK.
