I had this too (1992 9000 CS). It would sometimes respond (temporarily) to a heavy slap on the dashboard-top. Went away completely after replacing several failed instrument illumination bulbs. To do his I had to remove the instrument pod, requiring removal (and reinsertion) of several multi-way connectors, one of which could have been the cause of the problem. I also removed and inspected the connector to the dimmer rheostat at the same time. It looked fine, but could have benefited from removal/replacement. So, if looking at the rheostat connector doesn't yield a result, maybe the next thing to try is fiddling with the connectors to the instrument pod. This is accessible after removing the dashboard lid.

Clearly this sounds like a dodgy connection somewhere. Are > there any favourite places before a total teardown takes place please...? > > Thanks,
