Oldsmobile/Buick Repair: DASH LIGHTS 87 Buick Regal, buick regal, digital dashboard


Question
I have an '87 Buick Regal, with a floor shifter and digital dash, which comes with a 307 Oldsmobile engine. (1G4GJ11Y2HP431279)

My digital dashboard only turns on when it wants to.  Sometimes it takes hitting a very severe New York City bump OR for some reason, really freezing temperatures!

I've heard that this is a common problem possibly having something to do with a particular wire which gets disconnected from time to time.

One Auto electric place couldn't find the problem.

Please help, as I do not know how fast I'm going, or how much gas I have!!

Sincerely,

Stranded in the cold
