rally gauge conversion

[Pc3]

Checked bulbs did have tinker with them. I replaced them with led.
I think the circuit board took a dump form dicking around with its much
No matter how gently I put it in something different would acure.
Needless to say I have a new circuit board comming

Ugh. Don't put LEDs in until everything works with incandescent bulbs. LEDs have their own issues; don't make problems you don't have already.

Lol. I hear ya! The cluster is back in and everything is working except for the left blinker staying lit with the lights on. All wireing is correct .
Need to check the blinker bulb. Up front. Looks a little dim.
I ordered a new circuit board but might not need it afteral. The L E D lights where needed. The reg bulbs where way dim

Question: Does this "fix" require changing the old printed circuit on the back of the instrument cluster? As mentioned earlier, these printed circuits are so old and flimsy they are basically huge "frustration time-bombs." Has anyone tried wiring directly to the clamp connectors for each gauge or rewiring the cluster?

If the bulbs are dim, start checking the grounds and the contacts in the sockets; they're usually the first to corrode. I've mentioned this before, but I'll say it again. Near the horn, on the driver's fender, there is a ground splice that puts 6 18ga. grounds to one 18ga. for the front lights. Cut that off, and replace it with a 10 or 12ga. and ring terminal to ensure proper current flow.

Yes sir.
Bulbs needed. Replace. Very dim even from a direct 12 volt.
I plan on checking exterior bulbs also. Thanks
