'73 Duster dash light problems.

[Manfred318]

OK, this has really got me confused I can only get one turn signal light to work. The drivers side signal works. None of the other dash lights work. The oil pressure, other turn signal, bright light indicator, any dash light, nothing. I took the dash out to replace the headlight switch and the wiper arm bushings and since then I can't get the lights to work. I replaced all of the dash bulbs while I had the dash out (most of them needed it anyways) and I put in all new MoPar bulb holders when I replaced the bulbs. I put it back in and nothing. Then I thought maybe it wasn't getting a ground so I added a ground from the dash to the frame and still nothing. I then thought maybe a fuse, I replaced every fuse and still I get nothing. I'm about ready to throw the damn thing out the window and say to hell with it. Maybe I'm missing something? I don't know. If any of yous guys have any idears it would be greatly appreciated

Done that as well. Still didnt help.
Update: I put the dash back in for about the 4th time this afternoon and the lights work, but now none of the T-signal lights work, oil and brake, as well as the brite light indicator does not work either. At least its a little progress

I bet those pins sticking out of the circuit board on the back of the dash are not making good contact with the board. I had issues with them in my 66 Dart and our Daytona...I had to gently solder the pins to the foil, then take some epoxy and make sure they did not come loose again

The pins seem tight on the board. I wonder if it could be the wires on the plug itself not getting a good connection? The plug is tight when you plug it in, but when you go to unplug it the ends want to pull out of the plug. Ill pull the dash again tomorrow and check things out.

You do realize that the round connector that plugs into the dash goes only one way, right?

Yes. Yes I do. It is being plugged in the right way. It will only fit that one way.
