'95 Jetta has an electrical problem?

Man, my IP started doing that a couple months ago. There are sensors
that transmit to the instrument cluster or speed/tach etc... The
manual should show which fuses/relays to check first. Then obviously
the sensors/switches themselves. And one I always enjoy - busting out
the ol' voltmeter and testing the pins on cluster for shorts... I
missed something, I'm sure... Its early here in CA.
