Still working on my buddy's car (70 AMX) We needed
to fix some electrical problems like no dash lights,brake lights and tail
lights. we fixed the tail lights (burnt fuses that looked ok) stop lights
(bad switch) now we're trying to get the dash lights working. Changed the bulbs
and sockets (twist in) and cleaned the printed circuit board. I have
juice at the orange lead at the headlight switch and then the trail goes
cold. I didn't see if I had juice actually at the printed circuit board.
I'll try that next work day. I was thinking a bad ground on the cluster. Does
anyone know how that grounds? I tried jumping it with a test lead and still
nothing. I did notice that the park brake light flashes with the turn
directionals. Also there is a round plug with 10 or 11 wires on it
I didn't want to remove that because I wasn't sure how to take it off. I
was geting juice at the clock light and when I jumped that ground it worked. Put
in the dash and nothing. I noticed a sheetmetal tab to jump from the cluster to
the clock and I put that back in.
Sorry for the ramble but I stopped working on
it because I was getting frustrated
