Hi guys,

Sorting out the last electric gremlins so I can get the car inspected/registered.

What I did so far :

* installed hella front euro headlights
* renewed the rubber under the dashpad so the horn works
* installed new pin at the rear light switch so back up lights work
* adjusted switch at the brakepedal so breaklights work
* installed jwest fusepanel with led fuses - no blown fuses
* in short all the external lights work, hazard, blinkers, mean and high beam, fogs etc

One last thing I am looking for are the dashboard lights. I have the green and red light of the oil, dashboard light and the little green bulb of the citylights work.
I don't have the blue high beam, no blinkerlights left and right, no hazard.

I checked all grounds, they all look good...cleaned the one under the fusebox.
Removed indicator and wiperstalk, took off the tubes for the windscreenwasher (have electrical pump installed). Opened the dashboard and checked the gauges... had two loose wires but most probably ripped them off when removing the panel. Noticed nothing special but was a bit worried (too many wires (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) and re-installed everything.

Now I have the indicator lights but instead of left right they blink together (so bulb is ok) BUT now my wiper remains on (not constantly every 10 seconds or so). My next guess was to replace both the indicator and wiperstalk but apparently the wiperstalk is NLA...

No idea what to do next ... shall I remove and disconnect all the gauges, clean all connections, but new bulbs and clean the grounds and hope for the best ?

I've read everything I could find (most tell it is a ground issue but they all look so clean, with no corrosion whatsoever) so any suggestions are welcome

So close, only the few lights keep me away fm inspection/registration. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
