Default Where's the ground for the instrument cluster?

In my never-ending, and up till now unsuccessful, search for reasons to explain cluster wierdness, I started wondering where its electrical ground is. I've got the Bentley CD but the wiring diagrams are Greek to me (no offense to Greeks).

Anyway, is there an obvious ground that serves the cluster and its myriad warning lights?

TIA, ~john

Default The cluster sits atop a bottomless pit of manufacturing defects. Thus there is no ground...

... existentially speaking.

I hope that helps!

Default LOL......>>

Have you seen how many tiny wires are attached to the back of that thing through the 3 plugs? I'm guessing 40 x 3 = 120 individual wires....
(check the brown ones)....

Wonder why we have a problem here?

Default the ground is preferrably 28 feet down, when you toss that piece of isht in the air

and do away with it!
