Only happens once in a bluemoon and is usually fixed by shutting car off and turning it back on BUT anyhow...

When i turn the parking or headlights on all my gauges in the cluster go to max, the blue light for high beams turn on and both turn signal lights come on......

When i turn my parking or head lights off the cluster reads normal again.....


Has anyone ever ran into this????

My 1993 Acclaim does this. I bang on the dash and it goes back to normal. Likely a loose connection, bad ground. Take it apart and clean some contacts.

The rheostat incorporated into the headlight switch for the dimming function can breakdown and cause all sorts of problems. Similar problem on my Shadow last year, new switch $15 later and everything was working better than it had in a long time.

Where did you get your switch at?

Oh that's boring. The fun one is where all the gauges glitch up and down, the lights flash, and all the relays under the hood go click clack on and off several times... POSSESSED!!! ..... no usually it's a bad ground or battery cable not on tight.
