RE: Instrument Cluster Repair

if your cluster blinking everytime you turn the windshield wipers on, then search in this board...

i had the same problem, and got it fixed by replacing one of the power caps...

cost is less than 50 cents.

A few of the gauges go wild including the warning lights?

RE: Instrument Cluster Repair

My instrument cluster (1993 600 SEL) will occasionally flash when using the turn signals. The same thing happens when using the wipers.

Tell me more about the "power cap" solution.
