When i turn on my lights, the gauge lights are very dim, and the turn signal indicaters light up nice and bright. Just started today. My gauge lights used to be just fine, and the turn signals didnt stay on either. Anyone know what could be going on here?

Sounds to me like ground is loose at the top , center, speedo/ gas guage cluster screw, on a 67 or 68. If it’s a 69, I don’t remember where the grounds are.

Fixed, except the dome light still doesn't come on.

If the dome light comes on with the door switches and doesn't come on by rotating the headlight switch:
There's a large lug that the headlight switch goes through when it's mounted. This lug and its wire needs to be grounded.

hmm, it wont come on either way. I'll have to clear out a spot in the garage and take a look.
