Gauge cluster going hay wire
I have a problems, I believe I think my ECM is going bad, all the gauges on my 1993 SSEI Bonneville keeps flucuating back and forth along with the instrumental gauges flickering like its resetting and setting itself, what can cause this. It will chime due to the LED gauges flickering and all guages except the speedometer and tach are going nuts. Has anyone else had this kind of problem before.

Look for the ground bus connector article also. Both can be your problem. 95% certainty it'* one or the other.
The cluster procedure isn't as difficult as it sounds. It'* about a half-day to a full day, easy relaxed work pace.

You won't break plastic unless you do it in frigid cold winter conditions. Don't sweat it. Get some beer, relax, and giterdun.
You won't believe me now, but you will after you do it and fix it, it'* very much worth the time and will give you alot of satisfaction, self-confidence, and a hangover the next morning.

Half day to pull and check the cluster? OMG Bill... how many beers to do you think this project is rated for? It only took me 3 and about 2 hours my first time out.

He'* got alot of attention to pay to that sucker as he disassembles the layers. Never rush that. Organize your screws, and take pics as you go.
That'* one job I don't try to set speed records on. Replacements are very expensive.

True...I've done it too many times and am forgetting the first time looking at all of it.
Overall though..it'* a very easy process. Step by step. I took pics the first time to ensure I knew where everything went. Only remove the gold screws. The black ones hold the connectors to the circuit board and do not need to be removed.
