I think I know the answer to this based on searching through past threads but I just want to be sure before I go back into the dashboard.
I recently had the interior of the car apart and at this time, did work on the gauge pod. Since I put it all back together the turn signal indicators on the dash operate erratically. If I turn the left signal on the right indicator will come in with the left indicator. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Same for the right turn signal and indicator. The actual turn signals are working normally on the exterior of the car so this problem is in the dash.
Now while this is happening sometimes my fuel gauge needle shoots past Full. I currently have a half a tank of gas and while driving today the gauge read half full most of the time. While idling in a drive through it shot past Full and stayed that way until I got home and shut the car off. I then put the key into the ACC position to liven the gauge back up and it read half a tank as it should.
I am thinking that that floppy wiring at the back of the gauge where the main wiring connector clips in is where the short is located. I am guessing that the fuel gauge issue is a short and I am positive that the turn signal issue is a short. Am I headed in the right direction?
Thanks guys.
