[OVERULD]

NOW NO DASH LIGHTS!!

Yesterday I pulled the speedo cable out and lubed it per the instructions in the document posted above, and no more noise. I may have created a new problem however...I drove the car to meet some pals for steaks last night. When I got in the car to drive home (after dark) my dash lights were completely dark. I tried the rheostat but no luck. Crawled under the dash with my cell phone flashlight to check the fuse - it looked fine. Drove the car home with the dash dark - that sucked! When I got home, I pulled the panel below the steering wheel and looked around to be sure I hadn't knocked a connector loose. I pushed on the top and bottom of the main electrical connection to the gauge cluster to be sure it was fully seated. I then pulled the gauge fuse and tested with a multimeter, and it checks good.

My tach still works, and my turn signal bulbs operate, but no gauge lights and no light in the radio. Need some help here - not sure where to go from here.
