Hello All,

Just wanted to report back that the issue was/is defiantly ground related.

I used one of my jumper leads and installed it from the ground tab on the cluster voltage regulator to a good ground under the dash. Concern was eliminated. I will try to locate the source of the faulty ground, but applying a good ground did solve the issue. I will also install a new permit ground under the dash.

Thanks to all for your input, especially RamblerMan!
