The reason I don't think it is a loose connection is because the issue happens almost exactly every 100 miles.
Also, how would disconnecting/reconnecting the battery resolve a bad contact?
Yes the cluster gets power constantly - although it should not show the mileage with the key out - it does when the "777777" issue happens
DaMonkey, Its really difficult to replicate the issue because you have to drive it, and when it happens I want to immediately pull over and fix it. Pulling the cluster in a parking lot somewhere is less than ideal - although not impossible. Also, I wouldn't pull the cluster without disconnecting the battery in the first place for safety.
Given how inexpensive they are, I think I'm going to replace the cluster with one from a yard and go from there.
Thanks!!
