LED cluster conversion lighting

Ok I wanted follow up that others can benefit from what I did to solve the problem of inoperative instruments. Both my fuel and temp instruments were not working. A few LED’s were also not working. I found that the threaded posts on the instruments (see pic) were isolated from the PCB trace so it was not making electrical contact. You can see a very small contact area that has white corrosion on it. I verified this with an ohm meter. So I burnished the contact area of the copper trace like I did for the LED’s and then snugged on the nut. I was then able to see the voltage on the meters threaded screw. That simple but the instrument cluster needed to be out. For the LED’s that didn’t work I bent the contacts and reinstalled them and verified that they werked before I reinstalled the dash. Everything works now.

Well well well as soon as I say it’s all working I find a minor issue. This is a real strange one. Everything does work including
turn signals, and hazards.

BUT when the lights are turned on either the parking lights or the headlights my right dash turn indicator is illuminated!

This was not an issue prior to my last dash disassembly and reassembly. It must be some type of cross connection right? Strange these old cantankerous beasts of machine lol
