Yes.









Sort of.


Mine did the exact same thing, right after I swapped an SR5 Cluster in. Did it for a year or more, no matter what random things I tried (upgrading the cluster ground, etc.

About 4 weeks ago, I had the dash apart to fix a couple minor rattles and loose bolts. I took the cluster out and undid everything I did to try to fix the problem. I then tightened every screw on the back of the cluster. When I plugged it back in, I wiggled every single wire going into it AFTER I plugged in the connector. Those connectors really don't hold the wires all that securely.


It hasn't screwed up since. Nice, even needle rise to middle, no jumping around at all.

I may never know what did the trick, but something did.
