dash light?

i am having trouble with my dash lights working correctly, first i replaced the dimmer switch and it fixed some of the problems then i grounded the dash which fixed some more things, then i have tried 3 different swithces which seemed to fix near everything but i still have a problem when i turn the lights on the left blinker light will stay on in the dash and then when i use that blinker it will get brihgter but will not flash, what could this be.

I would start off by checking all the wiring to the blinkers and make sure that is all good then I would get a new flasher relay and try that. Thats were I would start Im not sure that it will fix your promblem but it shounds like a good place to start. Does the blinkers work at all? if so then the relay is not your problem hope that help later B.

The blinker is designed to do this when a bulb burns out. Turn on your 4 way flashers and which ever light does not blink, replace it and see if that fixes it.
If not, then you have a ground problem on what ever side has the indicator lit.
