Default cluster is sometimes dark

good morning all.
Got a problem when driving as my cluster goes completely dark.
Even when I connect my PPC3 it does not show/tells me what is wrong.
I changed already the break switch but doesnot help.
However I noticed when it is dark and going over a bump it comes on again but disappeared after a while again.
Anybody here has the same problem?
I recon that it is a loose contact but then again where to look for as it effect only the cluster and not the performance of the car, all works even the indicators, break lights etc.
waiting yours,
brgds

Just an update.
Found here in this forum a lot of suggestions and go tomorrow to start with the easy part, taking out the cluster and cleaning up all components on the print included the DIM.
Let you know if this was the problem.
Have to do this as next month have to pass the MOT and therefore need it.
