Interestingly, the black wire leads to ground G501, the very ground identified earlier as common to the gauges
and dash controls. Try jiggling just that wire if you can.

Thank you Oth!

I really appreciate your valuable input! - I feel we are getting somewhere here!

I shall give that a go and report back!

!!ISSUE SOLVED!!

Thank you to all input on this post.

Oth.... your final words of wisdom guided me! - If you are ever in the UK (Near Bristol) swing by and I will buy you a cold one!

So i looked at G501 again and tried to trace cable and as I did... I came across another earthing point!!

See Video

After tightening this up...

Everything is perfect again. No loss of dials when doing up windows and my audio controls work like a charm.

This shows what i was experiencing when putting the kick plate back in place that it must have needed to push the cables in such a way that it made a better contact.

All is now resolved!

That's great! Intermittent electrical problems are maddening to find.
I have friends in Bristol, so it's always a possibility I'll take you up on the beer...
