Ok, so I frequently start on a project, and complete it w/o checking my work (as in didn't start the van, drive etc) before diving into another mod.
Most recently I replaced all the exterior bulbs (corner lights, marker, turn signals, reverse) with LED, added OEM fogs, LED under bumper driving lights, swapped out the four headlights with two different types of LED lights (1 pair of 15 led bulb lights; 1 pair of glass lens single LED headlights), installed a new stereo, dash speakers, powered sub-woofer, and then swapped the instrument cluster from 4wd AT van to get a tach all with LEDs. Oh and did the 'Big 4' with 2 gauge cables.
So, amazingly almost everything works. The only issues are neither the 'door ajar' nor 'seat belt sign' illuminate (swapped in multiple bulbs including known good ones) no change. Oil pressure gauge needle goes from the bottom all the way up the scale when I turn the key to the 'on' position, after starting the engine it gradually goes down to the bottom. :cnfsd:
When I did the swap out of exterior turn signal bulbs I swapped out the flasher relay under the dash. From outside the turn signals work as they should but on dash they barely illuminate:?:.
Not really too concerned with the door ajar or seat belt dash lights, more annoying than anything but I would like to understand the oil pressure gauge and turn signal behavior.
Thanks Josh
