dashboard lighting issue (85 245)

Dec 27, 2007 2 Replies

I replaced the heater blower and speedometer cable, and now my dash lights seem to be a little odd. Instead of normally being dash lights, they sometimes switch turning on the blinker lights and the high beam lights, and the overall dash light isn't on.



Is that a faulty ground/bad connection, or the wiring harness issue? when I push on the dash cluster, it goes back to normal.


You've got a connection that's either loose or shorting another connection in there somewhere. Open things up in the area where pushing fixes it, see if you forgot to tighten one of the ground connections.

I was thinking htat maybe one of the wires came loose out of the back of the plugs. But I didn't get to check it today (I was too lazy).

It shouldn't be a ground issue, as I made sure to check those before I put it all back together. But, you never know. I'll check tomorrow morning. Hopefully it's a simple (and stupid) fix.
