craigba Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Hey,So I took my dash out to sort out some electrical issues, and when I put everything back, and turned the key to on, the turn signals both lit up and so did some of the dash lights. Any idea what may be going on? I'm thinking maybe a flasher might be bad? In a Datsun 620. I checked all fuses and they are all good Quote Link to comment

Go back and look at what electrical issues you sorted out. Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Wires are color coded, get the diagram for your truck and trace all the wires you messed with, something simple. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 The speedometer cable was probably jammed up against the circuit board on the gauges. Quote Link to comment
craigba Posted September 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Yeah my grounds are good to go, however when I bought the truck I fried two throttle cables before running multiple ground straps from block to frame and block to body. Thanks again for the assistance! Probably should think thoroughly before posting Quote Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 I can never over emphasize how important grounds are, chassis to cab, chassis to engine, chassis to bed....very important. Quote Link to comment
