    Sometimes when it rains, my gauges will stop working. Sometimes all, sometimes only some. I've sprayed that area on firewall, but couldnt recreate the problem. Anybody had same problem?

    Well I've finally looked at it last Sunday. Connections looked ok, so I've pit piece of plastic over it, and stuck couple of plastic bags there too. High tech :). Also I've put layer of silicone above to stop water from coming down. It started raining Sunday night, and didn't stop till Monday pm. Gauges worked fine.
