I would agree that there is a loose connection in the combination switch. I would recommend checking this first, then t/s the switch and wiring. It sounds as though you have an intermintent fault, be patient in your t/s

I had the same prob.....took it to a shop when I began hearing something rattling around in the headlight switch, the shop replaced the switch for around 250 bucks parts and labor. e careful and don't get boned like I did

If you do find a faulty component in your combination meter, I have one that might have the piece you need. My original was broken when an attempt to steal my car was made. Let me know.

Switch was my problem too. I didnt replace it I actually took it apart to fix the connection problem.
