[s-cars] Water Temperature Gauge Dead- Instrument Cluster Issues

Listers-
I think I killed my water temp gauge. Oops. In the process of
replacing instrument cluster bulbs, I got a bit enthusiastic
with the contact cleaner and after having put the cluster back
in the car, I find that the water temp gauge in inoperative.

Everything else works fine, but no water temp- sits on C and
never moves.

Any suggestions on what to look for? I think the contact cleaner
definitely had something to do with it. Otherwise, I may have
tweaked a wire or didn't hook something up properly when I put
it back together.

I'll be consulting the Bentley in the meantime, but if anyone
has suggestions on what and where to look for connections for the
water temp gauge in the cluster, it would be greatly appreciated.

Having put 2W bulbs in the cluster, I have to now get some more
2W bulbs for the trip computer and clock, it's so bright now.

Also, does anyone have a pointer on how to replace the bulbs for
things like the airbag light, etc.? These bulbs appear to have
their bases soldered to a wire in the harness and I'm horrible
at soldering.

Taka
