Re: 71 Dash Light Problem
Your printed circuit. Replacing the bulbs, the circuit area surrounding the designated holes are very fragile (especially 40 years later).
That's gotta be, I don't think the cluster works off of two fuse spots.

Re: 71 Dash Light Problem
What I had to do is spread the little pins apart on the bulbs and clean the socket connections. I also use a continuity meter to check the circuits. I only know of 1 fuse that is used for the dash lights...

Re: 71 Dash Light Problem
You probably just need a dash printed circuit. They run 30-50bucks depending on where you get it...my.02
