Today I replaced my cracked dash board with another one. Before I took the old dash apart, all gauges and lights worked just fine. Since I was taking apart the dash, I went ahead and replaced the headlight/ dimmer switch. When I got it all back together with the same cluster from before, the gauge lights do not work and the gas gauge pegs past the FULL mark. When I turn the ignition on, the dummy lights all light up like they are supposed to. The volt meter gauge works and the oil pressure gauge works as well. The new headlight switch is functioning properly and the dimmer part of the switch also works with all the other interior lights. Anyone have any thoughts before I go and rip it all apart again?

 

I found this from an old thread, does anyone have a picture of the ground wire just to the left of the steering column?


This is what is to the left of the steering column under the dash. I know that someone had ground another wire at one point to the column but that has been there a while.

 

I'm having this same issue. What did you find?
