I had a similar problem with my tacho and rpm-lights. Finally I found out,
that they were damaged (the little wire inside was interrupted), but the
wires inside the bulb were so close, that sometimes the buld was burning.
After replacing them, the problem disappeared.

Maybe it's the same with your tripmaster. Check the cabling just behind the
windscreen to exclude a cabling problem.
