but, originally the gauge cluster's two lights were 5 watt bulbs and the heat over time of constant use would warp the contacts away from the bulbs. Saab's solution was to change to 3 watt bulbs. But that doesn't fix the problem after the warpage has already happened...:-P
I occasionally have to pull the left speaker and jiggle the bulb and it will make contact and light just fine. That is until the next pot-hole hit bounces the bulb away from the contact again... <sigh...> 'Tis the curse of owning an old car I'm afraid.
I, too, have a black '88 SPG ;-)
