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?

Make sure you have the right bulb in every socket. These damn things are finicky! I've had strange electrical problems that wound up being solved by replacing the bulbs, even tho they looked fine. Coulda been bad connections, but cleaning didn't solve it. When I first rewired Dad's Car, I had dash problems that went away when I fixed the lic plate lights. Go figure. Had a glitch the other day that was a fuse that looked fine, but wasn't.
