I don't know if anyone can help but when i turn on my left blinker the gauge lights flash! and when I put the running lights or front lights on they won't come on! I was wondering if anyone knows what wire is crossed so i don't have to go one by one trying to find the problem? I am thinking that a wire is crossed in the cluster that hooks in under the steering wheel???? Thanks

     It sounds like a ground situation to me and its feeding back through your gauge lights. I'd check all the push in lights in the back of the instrument cluster :Twocents:

If you messed with the wiring, maybe some wires are crossed, otherwise, I agree...ground problem at cluster or dash

sounds like a cool mod to me, the whole dash blinking in time with the turn signals............... now if you can just get them synched to the music from the radio..................... :scratchchin: :scratchchin:

Thanks for the input! I just got done restoring the dash so that sounds like the problem. other than the push in light bulbs should i look anywhere else where it might be grounding out?

A short in one of the tail lights would do this.  Also, check that you haven't put a normal bulb in a brake light hole. or vice versa, this would short the lights out and make it do things like this.

Question... does the little green turn signal indicator light in the dash still blink too?  If not, I would say that you simply have the wires crossed between the turn signal indicator light in the dash and the other lights.  Also, are you sure that all of the dash lights blink or just one?  You might just have the turn signal indicator light wire crossed with one of the others right next to it.

Thanks yeah the green turn signal indicator does not light up and all of the gauge lights light up and flash with the blinker. that makes sense! Does anyone have a wire diagram or a picture of what color wires plug into which ones on the wiring harness under the steering wheel

Thanks again
