    Continuity check on those circuits?

    One possibility that comes to mind is the Instrument Voltage Regulator on the printed circuit ribbon. I've heard of them being troublesome, but have not had a problem myself.

    Always check for bad grounds.
    The instrument panel connector ground pins to chassis ground.
