Do you have a ground strap as Huw detailed on his website?  On my 84, circut board needs cleaning
every once in a while so I brush it with a tooth brush.  I have sprayed electical cleaner on the
board too after removing all bulbs.  Then taken any residue off with some really fine sandpaper and
made sure all the contacts were touching what they needed to and reinstalled.  It has been working
well so far, but on my car I think the turn stalk onthe steering wheel needs to be checked.  You
might want to check that too.
