Gremlins in my instrument cluster
I pulled my instrument cluster out, painted the needles to the original orange, reassembled everything, put the cluster back in and now all of the gauges flick in concert with the turn signal and the two primary bulbs are getting burned out. I have a spare cluster which is working fine, so I guess that everything outside of the cluster is good. Any ideas on what the problem is and where I might have made a misstep? Thanks

Sometimes the big round plug gets plugged in clocked the wrong way. If you're certain that it's plugged in correctly then investigate a ground fault.

Almost always a grounding problem
You may have to run a separate ground wire from the cluster to the grounding block behind it.

Running a separate ground wire from the cluster did the trick. Thanks
