The light bulbs behind the gauge cluster of my 85 GMC 2500 will go out individually,and then light back up when I wiggle them in their sockets. A while later they will go out again until I give them another wiggle. Anyone else having this issue? Is there a good way to get these bulbs to stay good and seated in their sockets and stay lit?

It is often the socket/printed circuit connection that is the problem. Remove the sockets, re-tension the tabs, and also use contact cleaner on the tabs and the printed circuit. Should take care of it.
