shelbyone Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Well, well....I replaced my dashboard with a "new" old one but transferred all my existing wiring ( excluding headlight switch) installed it, looks great...everything works except : no indicator lights in the cluster, no clicks, no high beams. Breaklights work ( all 3) Windshield wipers and washer works. when activating the hazard switch, no clicks, no lights...OR front blinkers stay solid, back blinkers stay dark. when blinking, only front blinkers blink dim and slowly. checked all fuses, replaced relays, double checked all connectors ( all cleaned and treated with d. grease) I am at a loss.......

shelbyone Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share Posted May 28, 2023 could it be the turn signal switch? but then again..headlights work ( high beams not) wipers and washer work) I highly doubt it....and before I switched the dashboard, everything worked! ....what about the headlight switch? ( I did not transfer it from my old dashboard....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandoMiddleton Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) If you're still experiencing issues with your indicator lights, clicks, and high beams, it might be a good idea to consult with a professional electrician or an expert in automotive electrical systems. They might have the expertise and tools to diagnose the problem more accurately. If you're in Ottawa, you could consider reaching out to kanatautilitiesltd.ca, who might be able to provide you with guidance or connect you with a qualified electrician. I hope you can resolve the issue and get everything working smoothly again. Best of luck with your dashboard replacement!

Hemi Dude Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 The main trouble here is that someone is not satisfied with the way the car was originally built. LEAVE THIS OR ANY OTHER CLASSIC CAR ALONE, or have it modified by those who know what they are doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marty14 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I put LED bulbs in my 1994 B150 Ram Van dashboard. Best thing I ever did as now I can actually see the gauges. Bathed in a green glow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
