Car is 76 with new late wiring harness. Initial wiring checkout after harness install.
Turn signal on, front & rear run lights flash as intended but signal light on tach just comes on once momentarily. Is this normal, or do I have a wiring issue ?? Well, i tried all 5 of my stash of flasher relays, several showed same symptom of single flash, but 1 worked OK. Now the hi beam indicator bulb works fine but does not show thru to front of Tach, Don't know whats up with this |

This may just be the blue colored film in the tach - someone else posted recently that whatever material VDO used gets more opaque with 40+ years age - so the bulb is working but doesn't show through. I had the same issue in my car.
Sadly - if this is the case - you have to pry the VDO can open to replace the film which can be messy.... - Tony |
