My clock in the warning ligths works, barely works,a then resets all the time. Sometimes it holds. Sometimes it's on very bright, and then its off or incredibly dull. Is this a bad solder in the idiot light cluster? Or is this something else? I just want to know because it's be nice to get the clock fixed.

 

It's cold solder joints on the clock itself. You can re-solder them yourself, or contact icemark here on the forum..he's got refurb ones you can buy good as new.
Also, use the search function for a ton more info on this very common problem.
