Odometer repair Update and question.

Brian,

The lights out on you Speedo is due to a bad printed circuit or "flexible
circuit board." I had to replace one years ago and it was VERY expensive to
get a new one from the dealership.  I would look for a cluster on ebay and
rob the printed circuit from that unit.  As for the side parking lights: are
both front and rear not working?  If so this is the fuse for the right side
parking lights. If just the front is south you need to replace the bulb. The
parking lights and the turn signals operate off of different fuses as well
as different elements with in the bulb.  It sounds to me like you blew some
fuses when your printed circuit fouled.

HTH

Dave

Well everything workes except for the lights on the speedo unit.  Here's
somthing weird though.  The right side parking lights and the rear right
brake light is not working now.  I can put right turn signal on and the
lights will come on.  Another odd thing is I had to reset the frequencies on
my radio, but I didn't even disconnect the battery.  Can all of this be
related to the spot that tore on the flex circuit board.  Thanks for the
help.
