I lost the voltage for the instrument cluster lights, ashtray lights, dome light, tail lights and brake lights. What happened was that I accidentally shorted the 12v side of the glove box switch to the dash, and the lights went out. The rear turn signals do work as does the cigarette lighter. There is n...

I have a clock in my car that is non-functioning. I know that people on this site have said to take it apart and spray some lube and clean the contact points and it might work again, but I'd rather try to install a more modern movement.

The original tach in my 75 Esprit was very lazy and wouldn't rev past about 1700 rpm. I bought a new reproduction from OER and it behaves exactly the same way. To eliminate the possibility of a wiring issue, I connected an Autometer tach to it and it works great. I even ran a separate ground. No change. Is i...

I bought a complete, old base-model '64 Parisienne dash last Sunday out of a real beater (sorry, I had my camera, but I couldn't get at the tag under all the dirt, hemlock needles, ice & snow).

The lighting in my dash of my 62 StratoChief seemed a little poor so I attempted to replace some bulbs. Some bulbs were burned, but in some cases there were no sockets. I could put my finger in the hole where the socket would go. Am I able to purchase replacement sockets? Thanks Doug
