Bummer.
Reeeeally don't want to take the cluster out.
Coming home tonight, and I stopped for a beverage at the gas station. When I got back in I noticed
right away that the bulb was back on.

Now I'm more concerned. A bulb is good or bad, it shouldn't fluctuate. Is this a sign of some underlying
electrical gremlin? I suppose it could be slightly loose in it's socket but this is the first time in a year and 9K miles it has gone out. I drive at night at least 5 nights a week.

As of now all bulbs are working fine, and I'm glad the cluster removal may have been forestalled, but that kind of spooks me.

Anybody experience anything like this? Am I just being paranoid?
Paranoid? .... Take your pills, you'll feel better. LOL
Why look for trouble?
