If so I haven't a clue. If not it sounds like the plug may be on wrong.Did this start all at once? Or was it after some dash work? I know this sounds abvious but since noone else responded I thought I'd throw it out there. 85Corvette 09-26-2005, 07:45 PM The rest of it works fine, it just did it by itself, I havent done any dash work. mdsbch 09-29-2005, 08:09 AM The symptoms you are having, digital dash dark and turn signal and high beam lights on, are the same ones I had about a year ago. The problem was the ground on the instrument cluster. What I did was run a wire from the grounds on both the connectors to the digital dash through the firewall (in an empty spot where all the wires go through next to the brake). I ran it directly to the battery ground on the frame. I haven't had any problems since. Also, while you have the cluster out, you might use some electric contact cleaner and clean the contacts. :eek: |
