Front side markers not lighting 1984 Bird

I just got a 1984 Firebird SE, and everything works great on it, but the front side marker lamps don't light. The fog/directionals work fine. I also noticed the dash lights are on all the time, with the fog lights and tail lights.
Anybody "shed any light" on this?
(sorry...)

Re: Front side markers not lighting 1984 Bird

I had similar problems with my front turn signals.

A good clean with electrical cleaner (let it dry before u test!!) and possibly a new bulb or two will usually take care of it.

If ur slim like me u can get at all the orange bulbs front and sides without raising the car too which is nice. As long as it's not lowered.

That def should make them work, and a 50/50 as to whether it'll get ur dash cluster right as well.

Thanks! I've taken out the bulbs and they look fine, but haven't tried to clean the contacts yet. I'll give it a shot.
Thanks again!
