[urq] Instrument Cluster Question

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Jim,

Is this old-style (i.e. early '83 or before)?  If so, the wiring to the fuse
box may be the culprit.  Do you also sometimes get a buzzing, like the turn
signal isn't quite making contact?  See Scott Mockry's website for
additional info:  http://www.sjmautotechnik.com/trouble_shooting/urq.html

Also, check the plugs to the rear taillights - as the contact (even with
revised fusebox) sometimes don't make good connection and this can make for
an improper resistance through the turn signal switch.  Funny thing about
electrical connections is they look for the path of least resistance and
strange things happen when this is disrupted.

HTH
