Oil buzzer Fixed!!
would sodering the LED's into the twist holders have damaged them?

Otherwise you will need to figure out which terminal is postive and which is neagtive and orient it correctly. HTH

And more than likely installed a buzzer unit from a 84 and up on it. Well guess what those Roccos have a high and low pressure sensor. Im under the impression that if you place one of those on an 82-83 that only had the low pressure sensor. It leaves the circuit open thus generating the dreaded sound of hell that many of us know so well.
In other electronic news I also tried doing a conversion from regular incandecent bulbs for the cluster to Blue LED's like these ones:

But I guess I screwed something up. I took the old bulbs out then used silver solder to place them into the twist top holders, but got no juice.
Upon replacing the incandecent bulbs back I still have no lights on the cluster.....

And it's not like those horns are subtle...
Cheers to Tony Mr. Fixit!
