indiglo gauges going out?

my indiglo gauges keep on turning on and off. there is no loose wire because when i turned them on (when they were working) i grabbed the harness and shook it and tugged on the wire, nothing happened.
at times i just sit there and they turn off fo rno reason! can these gauges go out? could there be something wrong with the fuse? (the fuse it in there tight with electrical tape holding it so it doesn't slip out) so can it be a bad fuse?
i'm about to buy a new one from ebay...bleh

samething happened to me, they started to flicker, then theyd stay off until i went over a bump. turned out the cylindrical fuse holder broke and the fuse wouldn't make contact on it half the time. It was hard to find the culprit, i mustve taken my cluster out like 3 times before i realized that the fuse holder was missing like 2 tabs that "click" it in place.

i took it out completely and replaced it with a blade-type fuse-fuse holder. solved the problem.
