Well, guys... great! Thanks a lot! I'm really going to read those guides this evening (and in the meanwhile I've ordered Wayne Dempsy's 101 projects book from Amazon).

Brief update: just got back from the car, I went to the garage just to try and disconnect again the battery for a day or two. Key inserted, turned it and... nothing, no cluster light, nothing at all. Tried a few more times, then eventually everything was fine. Please note the battery is always under a smart charger so I really doubt it was not full (it's almost new, by the way). Taken it away then inserted again, nothing. Left the key inserted and operated the headlamps and BANG! Cluster lights on. Never had I notice before that the key, while inserted and put in position 2, has a huge play (even though it doesn't fall off at all).

Any clues? Does this evidence point towards any different direction?
