99 Gauges flicker over bumps
My 99 NBS Silverado started this about a week ago, the whole gauge cluster will flicker, needles and all. It happens when I hit any bumps. I pulled the cluster out and checked the plug out but didn't find anything. Is there a ground somewhere that might be loose? I pulled the driver side kick panel off but didn't find anything.

Arent all the steppers individual? He's making it sound like they all go dead at once. If the whole cluster goes dead over bumps then check out the youtube vids on how to diagnose/fix it at home.

Ah, found it! I checked the ground junction at the bottom of the A-pillar but it was tight. You can do it if you pull the headlight switch out and use a long 10mm wrench. I did find that wire A8 in the harness which is a ground was sketchy, I ended up tapping in another wire a few inches off the cluster plug and running it to a solid ground and it solved my issues. Heres a picture of a 99 cluster plug if anyone needs it.
