around 96k miles. 5-speed

I am having a problem with the dash cluster lights. the dash cluster and ignition coil wires have been changed. so far over $500.00 worth of work and to no avail.

the dash lights go on and off while going down the road. even get a ringing sounds as if the key is turned while the car is off with the door open.also the temp gage goes crazy.

seems to act up the most when i hit the brakes/clutch. wouldn't be a problem but the brakes act funny, like dont stop correctly on 2 occasions along with headlights randomly turned off on one occasion. in desperate need of help. thanks alot,

james

Sounds like a wiring harness problem that may be at a splice or connections.
