Default Dash lite intermittent

1989 C-4 Dash lite go out for awhile, and come back on. Only problem when out is you cant see the RPM or speed. I'm guessing loose ground, only don't know where to start to look for the ground.
If it is the ground.

on my 86 with the Atari dash, the back lighting would go out on occasion and at times the turn signals would show lit. In my case it was the connector between the 2 boards got damaged due to heat. Bryan at Batee fixed it and did it right. I also had the bulbs changed to xenon's to cut down on heat.

I'm happy with the work done and recommend Bryan highly.
