Default Help: Dash problems

The 86 is now running better than ever, I think I must have inadvertently fixed a minor vac leak when I did my TB bypass. The car is now much smother on overrun and the fuel consumption has improved!
So just when things are going well I run down to the seaside for a day, all is great.
Get into the car for the return journey and the dash is very dim and the indicator and main beam tell- tales are on ??
Everything is working ok except the above, any one got any ideas : Please help.

Are you referring to the high beam indicator, and the turn signal indicator? If so, you have a bad ground somewhere. Start with this page: http://www.batee.com/corvette/dcrg/problems.shtml :cheers:
