some of my gauges work, some don't, idiot lights

Alright, 97 Sunfire. Talk to me, is the tranny bolt the only ground for the gauge cluster? Tach and temp drop out, I get coolant, theft light, oil and battery light on. They weren't working at all, then they magically started working after I messed with that ground, now they drop in and out sometimes. Tore my dash apart, the connector at the cluster is good.




Your car may do 13 sec @ 103 mph, but my car does 146db @ 35 hz.

Oh, yeah, it's not the alternator either. I have a volt gauge and the alternator is charging.

Alright, talked to some dude that had the same problem, he said it was chassis to body ground. Imma clean mine up when I get home. Could be some of the water and salt taking a toll on the grounds.
