I have my B-inlaws 72 in my garage for a while. I went to move it over to another bay last night and noticed that with the lights off the turnsignal lights on the tach were on kind of dim. Not blinking, just dimly lit. Only other light on was the fasten seat belt light. I turn the lights on and everything works like they should. I also noticed the voltmeter was showing just under 12volts. I didn't have time to troubleshoot it, but just looking for your thoughts on what to check. I know to check and clean all grounding points, anything else?
Danke |

I had the same problem. 70-74 models had seperate L/R indicater lights. I had a dim light all the time and both the idicator lights would light at the same time when signaling. Replaced the turn signal relay and all was solved. 12v reading on the console gauge is pretty much normal because it is actualy monitoring the brake cicuit, but clean the ground to the gauge just in case.
