I am providing you with the wiring diagram for the instrument panel. you might have a bad ground or short. So use the diagram to first check all the grounds for corrosion and a good tight fit against bare metal. Then check the circuit wires that seem to have the most trouble and look for bare wires or shorts to metal and loose connections.
