  • No front park or turn lights

    I have a intermmediate problem with my front lights. Some times the pass side park will work, but nothing else. One time EVERYTHING worked, but no more. One time the pass side turn worked..... but nothing else. I have a gut feeling it is a bad ground wire but I hope someone could tell me witch one is the common ground. Oh yea, my cluster light NEVER works. All the indicator lights are fine, just the illuminator lights are out.


    I MISS SPELLING COW!!!!

    You may be getting a feedback though the circuit from a bad bulb shorting internally. Sounds like time to change bulbs everywhere. Looking at them does not tell much as they do this with vibration, so it is intermittent. The cluster will need 2 or 4 # 74 mini bulbs to restore cluster lighting depending on year/full/standard cluster. Rest in there are 194s

      Oh, almost forgot. Yhe # 74 bulbs are the *closest* to the original bulbs. You may find that because they are a little fatter than the originals, you have to remove some of the base where they plug in to get them to fully seat and make contact. I usually take the sander and remove just enough to get the job done without removing too much and taking the moulded pins that screw the socket into the housing 1/4 turn.
