Default 73 dash lights

The lights on the dash only come on when turned all the way up and then the blinkers light up along with the brights. Is there a ground disconnected? if so from where?

There is aground wire that attaches to the back of the speedo. You may have a broken headlamp switch The part that adjust the brightness was broken on mine.

Do you - or does anyone have a picture of the back of the dash? (particularly where the ground connects) I would like to try and connect it without dissassembly.

Thanks

Sorry but I don't. I don't think you can reach it without taking it a part. Things are very tite back there. If the gruop of wires are not in the right position when you put it back together the dash won't fit. There is a couple of soft metal clamps that hold the bundle of wires where they belong. If they aren't held they hit the metal frame and hold the speedo/tach out. I tried to change some of the light bulbs and couldn't do it without taking it apart.
