Welcome to the site;

I had a 95 truck with a 3.0 V6, and I had similar electrical problems. My problem was the gauge cluster itself. Dealer had to replace the entire thing, under warranty of course, but there was one big problem,,,,,,the odometer was mechanical, and the replacement required a brand new odometer. This made my truck a TMU vehicle. This meant "True Mileage Unknown". Talk about a resale killer. Might as well have been a salvaged title.
