[ba] Mabey A Short?

Try unplugging each of thebig plugs behind the fuse/relay panel, examine
the contacts on both sides, and clean them of any corrosion or deposits,
and then re-plug.  Do a similar thing with all the relay and the fuse
contacts.  Finally, check the instrument panel flex-circuit and plugs
for dirt and contact problems.  If neither of these resolve the problem,
then it's time to look through the Bentley manual wiring diagrams and
try to understand how the circuits are wired, and figure out why you might
be running into this problem.  The last resort may be to replace the
fuse/relay panel itself with a new one.

Best of luck,
