Gang,
Looking for any BTDT advice or electrical guru input. I have everything on the dash working and wired in. The only puzzle is the turn signal indicators in the tach. When the stalk is engaged the gauge indicator light illuminates (and clicks) "once" and then stops. The external turn signals all work properly. Any thoughts on why the gauge lights would only flash once and then stop? Thanks! |

The flasher relay is bad.
There are 2 individual relays inside the flasher relay. One works the dash, the other works the exterior lamps. There is also a tiny circuit board in the relay to control both sets of contacts. There is no easy way to repair the internals. Buy a new relay. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Eric i had the same exact problem you described. took hours of trouble shooting, to find it was the relay. i found an NOS relay on ebay, and have been trouble free ever since. |
