Instrument panel

Ford Windstar 2003  170000 miles
My vehicle's instrument panel has been failing: you simply open the switch and the needles start moving from side to side, even sometimes colliding into one another. What I do is to hit the dashboard a bit and they either mend or stop. I was thinking that may be it was simply a poor contact or a short circuit, what do you think about it? Thanks.

With a magnifying glass I was able to identify some welding points in the instrument panel that were damaged (5). I've welded them again and the problem was solved.

It can either be that the ECU or computer of you car is failing or that some sensor's short circuit.
