: Added Console Gauges, Now No Dash Lights

Hi,
Here's where I'm at...

Removed instrument pod, restored face of dash, removed fuel gauge, replaced with OER tach.

Added OER Console Gauges with Factory Fit harness kit.

Hooked everything up per instructions.

Had to unplug head light switch module to attach the white courtesy light wire for console, from new harness into module, then plug original white wire into piggy back plug on the new harness white wire.

Heres my problem:

Courtesy lights work, head lights work, wipers work.

No dash lights, or turn signals.

Fuses look good.

Where to start? Could it be my head light switch?

I've got 3 ground wires on 1 screw into my dash in front of P Brake handle, is that too many?

Thanks. Brian

i have a similar problem- added tic tock tac in place of gas gauge, when i added console gauges. all console gauges work fine but dash gauges do not work at all - tac, or lights,etc. how did you fix your problem?

Do you have good bulbs through out the rear harness? Is your rear harness grounded under the trunk latch. Some time the bulb element looks good but its 30 yrs old and bad. Did you try and turn your dimmer with driving lights on (first position)? let us know. I just went through all of that and more but this board got me going on the right track and now my wirings correct and almost complete.
