So a quick update to my new cluster re-installation. First off, it's pretty difficult to remove the green indicator lenses from the original cluster. I ended up breaking one of them and finally had luck using a small dremel tool to free the other.
Moving on, I am having difficulty getting all of the bulbs to work on my cluster. I managed to figure out how to bench test the cluster and here is my dilemma (see picture below)
1 - Speedo light
2 - Left turn signal
3 - Right side of speedo/Tach light
4 - Hi-beams
A - Right turn signal
B - Right side of Tach/Left side of dummy gauges
C - Brake warning light
D - Right side light
So on the left side I managed to get all lights working except for 1, if I rotate the number 1 socket, it will light up but it dims #3 to the point where there is no real light. If I rotate #1 back, it turns off and #3 is very bright. I can live with that, if that is my only choice.
On the right side, only B works, however if I apply power to the lower contact of the D socket, both B & D will light (they are on the same circuit trace). But, if I apply power the B & D pin, only B will light. A and C will not light no matter where I apply the power. Also, I know for a fact that my right turn signal indicator worked fine prior to disassembly.
A couple of notes:
1. All sockets and bulbs have been tested and work. This has been verified and re-verified
2. I'm fairly certain that 1, 3 and B worked before. I am certain that 2, 4, A and C worked before.
3. I rubbed the contacts on the board with low grit sand paper to try and remove an oxidation.
4. The boards were never removed from the pot metal structure and all pins seem to be tightly affixed to the board.
Does anyone have any ideas? Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks for any help that you can provide.
