Removing the cluster is easy. First pop off the two trim pieces on each side of the steering wheel and remove the screws under them. Remove the headlight ****. The black piece should now come off after you unplug the fuel tank selector switch from the back. Remove the four screws holding the cluster in. Carefully disconnect the wiring at the back and pull the cluster out. The bulbs then just twist out.

You probably just need to clean the contact for the fuel gauge signal circuit. It's the Y/W wire that runs to pin 5 connector A if your cluster has a tach; pin 6 conn. B if you don't have a tach.
