Ok here's the deal. Turn signals and hazard lights all work. I just replaced the pea lights in the tach. I have no voltage to the socket, When I checked the wire it goes to ground. Looking for someone with more undamaged brain cells for trouble shooting ideas.

Your problem sounds like a issue with the flasher unit. The flasher unit has 2 sets of switches within, one set for the dash indicator lamps while the other set is for the exterior turn signal lamps.
I had a similar issue a few years ago and thought it was from a failing electrolytic capacitor inside the flasher. So, I replaced it with a ceramic style and things got worse (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I think if you replaced the flasher, your problem would go away. Alternatively, I never liked or understood why the indicator light needed to be isolated and needed its own set of switches. You could do what I did and abort the flasher unit, and wire the directional indicator lamps straight to the wires of the hazard light switch. You would get full voltage and the added load from the gauges' two tiny lightbulbs is negligible. |
