The green turn signal indicator light in the tach gauge on my '74 1.8 stays dimly light whenever the ignition is on. The turn signal lamps all work correctly and the indicator light flashes brightly with the relay when the turn signal is on, but it always glows dimly when the signal isn't on. I have no idea where to begin to diagnose the problem. Anybody else have this/fix this on their car?

Not sure what ground wire you mean, but everything on the car works normally, except that the indicator light glows dimly, but otherwise it works as well. The car is very original-one owner before me, and nothing looks like it was ever messed with, so I don't think anything is mis-wired, but if you have anything specific I should check, let me know.
Thanks! |
