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?

I had a bunch of wierd quirks in my turn signal / flasher system that disappeared when I cleaned all the contacts. The worst offender in my case was corrosion at the bulb contacts in the rear tail/turn lights. A bit of a different scenario, but it's not a bad idea to clean things up with some fine sandpaper and a little WD40 anyway... If it doesn't solve your problem, it's still worthwhile PM on a 30-year-old car.
