Rally Gauge Cluster Conversion issue(s) - 69-72 GTO
Ordered and installed the Ames rally gauge cluster conversion for my 70 gto, which did NOT have factory rally gauges, just the warning lights. Ames part number A258RK. https://www.amesperf.com/parts/60060/
Believe I have everything plugged back in under the dash properly/as it was at time of dash removal. But, possibly missed something. Went to test everything tonight - gauge backlighting works, gauges seem to respond to key “On”. Rotate key to “Start”, and have nothing. Another thing - when turning on “high-beam” headlights, the right signal indicator (green arrow) light comes on solid. With a left signal I get the proper dash indicator light but a right signal gives no dash light. Car drove into the garage prior to this install with no issues starting. I did make sure the ignition switch was plugged in. Dash was removed for Vintage air system installation, and installed this rally gauge cluster conversion at the same time. I didn’t get to spent much time trying to diagnose it yet, as I had my 3-year-old crawling all over me and the car (and she wanted to be under the dash with me as well). In a quick search, I see others mentioned potential ground issues, which could have something to do with the lights, but the ignition? Anybody ever used/installed this on a GTO? Any tricks to installation?
