[s-cars] S6 Instruments lost power

[Ian Duff]

I had a weird electrical problem in my old 1990 90 where IIRC the  
speedo, odo and fuel gauges were inop. Made me carry a gas can in the  
trunk, as my guessing at range was wildly optimistic. Turned out to  
be a bad ground on the back of the cluster. Took ages of  
troubleshooting to not find it, then poking around on something  
completely unrelated exposed my eureka moment. And I'm not talking  
about walking around with an underwear hat and swim goggles.
Of course, YMMV.
