instrument cluster wiring diagram 1971 dart

You don't need a diagram because you can look at the back of the PC board and follow where the traces go. Get the shop manual and look up the cluster connector, the pins are all labled.

You don't "bypass" the bulbs and I don't know why you'd want to. If you want them not to work just remove the bulbs and sockets

Or.............are you just trying to test the turn signals with the cluster out? In that case you don't need to bypass anything-----just connect the two ammeter wires together and make sure they are taped "safe"

thanks, once I posted I realized that I got more problems than I thought. I also realized that I don't need the indicator lights for the signals to work. One thing I didn't mention was that I put in a IDIDIT steering column also. sorry for the confusion.

I don't have 12v on the power wire feeding the turn signal switch and my flasher was not grounded. I ran out of time to figure it out though.
thanks for replying
