In the traditional needle, 18 SMD's were used to light the needle. they ran all the way up the inside face of the needle and pointed directly into the face. This made for a needle that was very brilliant, but unfortunately the needle was made completely of plastic. Over time the severe heat dries the plastic out and it becomes brittle. This process starts to seperate the needle inside and the end result is a flickering or dead needle. So your options are to find or buy a new needle [ which results in the same problem that you have experienced ] or have the old diodes replaced with LED'S which will last at least 10 years.

The problem sounds like it is in the instrument cluster itself , The three connectors behind the cluster do not usually come loose [ they are a b..ch to get out ] it is probably the guage itself . Is the needle still firing ? B)

By the way I'm with guytelefunken on the slotted issue , Racing only ,everyday and your pads are shot. my opinion.
