So I put in a new dash harness and still have the same problems with the cluster. All connections have tested fine. Gas gauge works, and right hand blinker works but the light stays on when the blinker isn't on. Other than that, nothing, no lights. Obviously a problem with the PCB. Can you pull the PCB or does the whole cluster need to come out? Anyone experience similar issues?

Dumb question, but have you replaced the turn signal switch?

Yes I've replaced everything except the pcb itself. Light switch, turn signal switch, dash harness.
All the ground screws are in pcb. All circuits are hot when applicable.
Looking at the pic in the csm it seems like there is one long interconnected ground on the board.
I do have fuel gauge, and atleast the voltage idiot light, the oil and temp I'm running aftermarket gauges so they're not hooked up.

Yeah me too. But all exterior lighting is working correct. All dash bulb sockets have been tested and bulbs are new and working.
I'm kind of torn on tearing the cluster out at the moment. I don't drive the car at night much, if at all. And I have a few other projects on the car I need to get to first.
Maybe I'll pick up a cluster if I find one in decent shape at a reasonable price. Or I'll wait until winter and see if the pcb is repairable.
For now I can live without the dash lighting.

The only grounds are the screws that hold the pcb to the cluster. Then a physical ground from the clock to a screw that mounts cluster to dash. I tried running a physical from the cluster body to the frame but no change. I have to imagine there's some severed circuits on the board. Until I pull it and examine it, I'm just making an educated guess since everything else in the chain has been checked. |

I put some die electric grease in the ribbon floor cable connection where it connects to rear cable section underneath the back seat area.
This solved a weird turn signal problem I had. I was about ready to string a 15ft wire from the under the dash directly to my right turn signal before this fixed it. Just a thought...Ed
