Hi guys. just a quick one. Where is the ground point for the instrument cluster? I have twitchy temp and fuel gauges. Done the whole tighten nuts clean contact points on the actual circuit board, so was wondering if it is a grounding problem on the car somewhere. Thanks!

G200 stud and nut behind glovebox.
Try a different SI board as well.

Push the pins out of the glovebox straps and let it hang down. Then remove the plastic panel above the glovebox. Two 1/4 turn fasteners and a couple of self tappers.
Earth stud(s) is in the middle at the back with lots of brown wires going to it.
