Have turned the ign switch on with the green wire under the hood grounded and no lite. When I installed the panel last time I installed new sockets and new bulbs and tested all of them. All worked well and were tight. Also examined the new board carefully to be sure it was the same as the old and as well as I could tell it looked great. I too am wondering what the tech found and said it was a short. Doubt if he would remember now. The low brake fluid sensor is not connected properly but it never has been as long as I can remember. This is the wire that hooks to side of the
master cylinder to turn on the brake lite when fluid is low. Still wonder why the alt and oil lite and everything else works and this temp lite is not being agreeable! Thanks again for all your time and effort. Frank69

I can't count the times that I've had to tweak/bend the wires on new bulbs so they would make contact when you put them in the socket. And just because a socket sticks in and twists tight doesn't mean the brass socket contacts are tight against the flatwire in the printed circuit.

Wouldn't worry about that for now. The wire to it and the e-brake switch wire are spliced together at the bulkhead connector. So got to get the e-brake straightened out and the other will work when you hook it up right.

Somewhere someplace something isn't making contact like it should. Bulb fit in the socket, socket to printed circuit contact, Poor terminal contact between connector/plug-in and printed circuit...And could be a break, tear or defect on one of the flatwires in the printed circuit.
Other than access these are about as simple as it gets when it comes to diagnose and repair.
Just gonna have to dig in and get er done
