1986 Digital Dash Intermitent Problems.
I just got done going through 249 threads mentioning the Digital Dash.
when I first purchased the 86, the lighting did not work, however you could see everything operating for the Digital Dash Cluster. I then replaced all four bulbs and it worked perfect for a few days.
At intital start, the dash operates properly, however sometimes it will blank out like before, or be all scrambled with or without back lighting of the LEDs, just depending what it feels like appearently.
Sometimes it will right itself on its own, or when I turn the car off and restart it, it will then operate correctly.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

(It is usually due to the dash connector plugs not in all the way or a bad earth to the engine block on driver side above oil filter)
