Gremlins in my dash...

[toast007]

Okay guys, check this one out.  When I connect the battery, even without the key in the ignition, the left, right, and high beam indicator lights on the dash light up.  I can't find a common link between the three in the diagrams.  Any ideas?

was it working ok before you disconnected the battery or have you just finished a resto or something

Finishing up a resto.  When I bought the car it was not running and had not been running for some time, so who knows what's wrong.  I don't know if it was like this before or not which makes this even tougher to figure out.

check the dome light, remove the bulb or disconect the plug at kick panel area.... it could be on short.

check the black ground wires on the headlamp harness , make sure they are  screwed  tight , to good clean bare metal .

  ALSO CHECK GROUNDS FROM THE BATTERY TO BLOCK AND FRAME- MUSTBE CLEAN AND TIGHT!!

Thanks guys, I will give all of those a good double check.

Found it!

The leads to the Ammeter at the dash were making contact with the back of the insturment cluster.  Burned up the fusible link in the process though.
