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?

My turn signal light has done this since I got the car (in '89), too. I believe I once read that it was due to having the wrong flasher unit. Apparently it changed between 72 and 73. Although the flasher is quite accessable, I've never really felt the need to fix it, since it is a harmless quirk.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
