  • Wierd... Ghost in my car????

    So I recently installed a tach cluster in my festy thanks to cub and everything went well for the first couple weeks....

    I came home tonight to see the festy in the driveway with the tail lights on and the cluster lights on. Confused I turned the headlights on then shut them ogg and the dash lights and tail lights went off but the buzzer in the cluster stayed on and slowly died out.

    I havent bothered to really dig into it yet but i did realise that if i pulled the tail light fuse the buzzer is completely off. So I left it that way and came inside.

    Just wondering if anyone else has ran in to this problem before?

    I realise that there is power getting to the circuit from somewhere im just not sure where yet.

    Anyone believe in haunted festivas?????

      I would check the back of the cluster's circuit board for damage. I had something similar happen to me and it burnt up. It doesn't take much to damage it.

          You might have to call in the ghost hunters. Since you're in Canada, guess you'd have to call the international ghost hunters. They always seem to find spirits wherever they go. Bet they could help you out!
