Turn Signal Indicator woes in Dash
I have a 1990 not ZRI... very recently its weird sometimes the right turn signal indicator in the dash....... blinks when the turn signal lever is pushed up as if to turn....and sometimes it doesn't. All exterior lights work just. thoughts and thank you.

I have the same issue. Its annoying but since the actual signals work it isnt at the top of my repair list. I figure its probly a dirty connection or bad socket at the bulb since its so intermittent. I have a new LCD to install so I will look at it when I get around to that. That replacement is waiting til I can get a new tach LCD as its shot out too. At $120 and again doesnt effect the running day to day, its down the list.
I hope someone will give some input to your question. I am subscribing to see if anyone can help us. If you figure it out, make sure you post up what you found for me and the rest of the community.
Good luck!

turn signal indicator
Yep I will..... it's odd it's almost like a computer type issue but that doesn't seem right either. What's a tach LCD? liquid crystal diode?

Close I think it means liquid crystal display, like TVs are now. There are 3 LCDs in your Atari dash unit. Speedo, center gauges and the tach section. The blinker indicator isnt part of that, they are regular bulbs. There are two printed circuit boards and one has the indicators and high beam as well as the illumination of the LCDs on it.

Melting Slicks
Having just installed LEDs in place of the 4 hot-running halogens, I saw some initial signs of the overheating of the circuit board at one socket. Oxidation on the contacts may a partial cause, atop the hot bulbs, as heat is generated via increased resistance in the circuit.
There are plenty of threads on how to R&R the LCD assembly.
