When I turn my head lights on (on the turn signal stalk) the cluster lights don't come one and the clock stays bright (doesn't dim). If I play with it for a minute or two I can get the lights to come on. I'm assuming there is a bad connection somewhere in the turn signal stalk and was wondering if anyone has seen this problem before and what they did to fix it?

sounds simple but have you looked at the bulbs?

 

i just replaced my bulbs behind my cluster and they were doing the same thing. seemed like they were shorting out. i just pulled the bulbs and GENTLY bent the connections in the bulb harness, 4 small pieces of metal the bulb slides into, together to create a tighter connection and problem solved. like snyper said. check your bulbs and their connections.

 

K, will do. But all the bulbs having a bad connection? and all the bulbs correcting the bad connection when I adjust the headlight switch on the stalk? I'll check it tonight, I've also got a spare stalk I may plug that up and see if it fixes the problem. I can at least localize the issue to one spot.

Thanks Guys!!!

 

yeah i would just check bulb socket and make sure all are touching and if not i would trace wires and make sure no bad connections.

 

Found it, turn signal stalk had a bad connection. Changed it out with a spare one I had layin around, works like a charm. Thanks guys.
