[QUOTE="ehoe, post: 7495, member: 141"] My E34 instrument cluster gauges in particular the fuel and temp gauges occasionally just swing to the most right side (i.e max fuel & max temp) and stays there for a while and it returns to normal after a few mins or just by turning on and off the ignition. Car runs perfectly fine, just the gauges a bit haywire. With the age of the car I suspect its just old wiring and lose connections. Anyone else has had similar symtoms before with the guages going a little irratic? I heard there is a cannister of spray sold called Contact Spray which is suppose to be good for old connections whereby you spray a little of this contact spray into the socket and its suppose to help with the connections. Is there such a spray and any idea where I can buy them? I think its time I remove my cluster and check all the connections. Suspect its a little lose or it has got bad contact points. [/QUOTE]
