Hi,

Thanks for all those helped on my OXY sensor question.

Heres a new one! I've owned the car about a week so not much history and yes its possible my brain didn't do as much checking on the car as I should have (it was that vw bus brain short circuit syndrome :-) The only thing I can say is that for one day I drove at night and everything was normal, now we have a problem and heres the scenario...

OK, Start the car, put the lights on and heres the first puzzler, the high beam indicator light is on BUT only the low beams are lit, toggle the high beam indicator light out, and high beams are go on. Theres more. Also when I put the lights on, the tach and clock go dead and I get the idiot lights from oil and radiator to light up.

Any hints out there.. I'm thinking a missing ground somewhere up in the instrument cluster,

Happy Holidays

Erik
