30yr Wait

After replacing the core I decided to dye all the dash components.
Somewhere along the line, the instrument lights stopped working. Easy right?
Obviously a short someplace, in putting it back together. Took everything apart again.....then the left turn signal starts flashing.....still can't find the short. Now I have NO lights at all.
Whats bothering me is the fact that no fuses blew. Beginning to think I should look at replacing the wiring harness.
Any help or advise would be appreciated.

If nothing's working and nothing's blown, then first thing I'd check is the ground. Really funny things start to happen on a glass car if things aren't grounded properly

:iagree: I would start by checking the grounds that go to the center cluster and to the Tach/speedo assembly.

Well now I have nothing, no lights, inside or out, no start, no nothing.
I must have a short someplace. Disconnected the battery and charged it, as soon as I connect it I got a quick buzzer sound from the keys being in it, but then stopped and nothing works.
I'll just keep trying..........hate electrical problems

Check your main ground cable coming off of the battery. I've replaced three out of four on my cars. Where the cable is exposed to road debris and the weather, it gets corroded easier than most cars. They usually swell up bad with that "green" corrosion near the end where it attaches(or bolts) to the frame. Make sure too, the area where it attaches is clean also. Check your battery terminals too for tightness.

Pat,

You have mail

I will agree with the main grounding strap/cable
