1992 MTX Headlights and turn signals, fuel and temp gauges

[deserttiger]

My 92 is back to life , running like a champ, and blowing cold AC. Quite the journey after being off the road for 15 years or so. Having a couple electrical gremlins. Headlights and turn signals are not working. Fog lights not working. Flash to pass IS working, as are all other lights incl parking and brake lights. Wipers work. Could it be something other than the multi purpose switch, given that flash to pass works ? Also - both fuel gauge and temp gauge are not working. All of these items worked before it was parked, but it has been a long time ! Thoughts appreciated, as always.

btw - fuses are all ok

My problem was that sliding dimmer switch that dims the dash lights. That caused a lot of problems including running the battery down.

Mult-function switch Is my best guess. Try wigglin the stalk when turning lights and signals on.

Flash to pass bypasses the headlight switch, so that could also be bad I believe.

Yeah wiggled switch and one turn signal worked sometimes. Replaced multi switch today and all is well. Those freaking plastic wiring harness clips though ! Such a pia. A 15 minute job turned into 45 mins just being gentle with old clips. Not much slack in the wiring harness so access was no fun.
