Default Funny electrical problem

1989 L98 coupe
Got in my vette for the first time in a week and after starting noticed the dash lights weren't working. Both turn signal indicators and high beam indicator stayed on continously. After a few bumps dash lights came back on and everything went back to normal. Must be a relay. Anybody know which one?

Just kidding

There is a way to fix it.
Do a search on this site or the internet and you will find it.
Its not a relay
Its a ground issue

Bad ground-easy fix.Gordon Killebrew "Inside the compartment, drivers side, find where the main wiring harness goes thru the bulkhead, attached to this is an object about the size of a dime, 1/2 inch thick with two wires connected to it (this is the ambient over ride sensor, don't worry about it) just splice a wire to the black/white wire run it through the bulkhead and ground it, there should be a ground wire attached to the frame by the battery-I cleanded and used this one. The black/white wire initially comes from cavity D3 on the cluster-this is one of the cluster ground wires. Hope this helps. :thumbs:
