You need to replace your batteries... The reason for the intermittant "flickering" of the light is due to the fact that the batteries are dead left overnight and after driving take some charge but not enough... CHARGE new batteries prior to installing... I am telling you to change them as this is a huge problem with most, however I would agree with Jens that you should check grounds first... There is a small pick-up wire in-side the cluster that runs from the SI board to the main circuit board - this sometimes is a tad loose also, but my thought is to replace batteries while the cluster is appart...

Best Regards,

Edward


Can anyone tell me where are all the connections and computer for SI inspection lights, I have a bad connection somewhere.
When I start the car SI is not working but sometimes during the ride it flashes few times, like it has a bad connection.
I guess that is the failure. I also checked the back of my dashboard and everything is OK.
Thank you
