I had the same problem.
I fixed mine by resoldering all the joints on the PCB that the gauges are mounted on. You can ensure the earth is good at the same time.
My problem was with the connector for the wiring harness, which had many broken solder

Like I said, I have had it repaired by professionals and after that date you can keep your fingers crossed for 1-(3 if your very lucky) years before it plays up again. I have all the reciepts to prove it. These gauges are bad news. As for earthing termin
