my signal lights work at the bulbs, but the green arrows don't work in the dash. bulbs are good all other lights work fine. what could be my problem? also my cluster doesn't have the gauges, just idiot lights. what is the process to change to the cluster with full guages? thanks.

There are some wiring changes you need to do before plugging in a full cluster (or tach dash) versus the 2-gauge cluster with dummy lights. This is explained in a thread in he FAQ forum.

As for the problems with your lights, one of my blinker arrows is out right now. If you pop out your dash, there is a circuit sheet on the back. remove the corrosion and look for burn marks on the lines or detached sections of the copper lines. It's one big loop - and if you have a burn in the line, all bulbs after that one will not work.

You can buy a replacement circuit sheet from most of the board vendors.

I have a good 2 gauge printed circuit, if you find that is your problem. Randy

I replaced the bulb holder and cleaned the contacts on the circuit board. Fixed problem.
