Sam (Bones) Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 my first guess would be the printed circuit for the gauge cluster start pulling fuses to see if they go out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Like Sam said. Sounds like the printed circuit board. If it is only showing on the dash that is the most likely. If the actual lights are lit outside the car It could be one of the flashers contributing but since the high beam light is also on dimly it sounds like the printed circuit board for the instrument panel. rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam (Bones) Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 It also could be a missing ground somewhere 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangeba Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Perhaps a mouse ate through some wires... You don't have a trailer hitch or the wiring from one in the trunk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bflocaribe Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 i was thinking a mouse may have entered in the garage...no trailer hitch...fuses pulled n still on...what ground may be bad?...thank you all...i appreciate your help...

Sam (Bones) Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 so you pulled all the fuses and they are still on? that is next to impossible unless someone has ran a wire without a fuse to a 12 volt source before the fusebox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bflocaribe Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 not all fuses...should i try pulling all?...thanks again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam (Bones) Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 by pulling all of them you can narrow it down to which circuit it is after re-reading your original post... are they on even with the key off? are the outside turn signals (front and rear) also on?

RealRed70 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Bad headlight switches can also cause electrical issues that may seem like bad printed circuit boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam (Bones) Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Bad headlight switches can also cause electrical issues that may seem like bad printed circuit boards. that's one of the things I am thinking of, also the turn signal switch, or the printed circuit also something not getting a ground on the printed circuit back feeding, so by pulling the fuses until they go out will tell which circuit is causing the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealRed70 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I agree, could be a ground issue. So often it turns out to be a ground problem. I have had printed circuit board issues when the board looked just fine, but the lamination was coming apart on the edge of the circuit board. It was like current was jumping to the next copper strand in the board. When doing a continuity test on the board everything checked out fine.
