Yeah, it was a short in the wiring in the backbone. Mouse damage. Started as the left directional bulb blew out then after replacing it the left front turning lamp would not work. This lasted about a month or so, then the tach and spedo started acting up. Sometimes at a stop others while cruising. Corrected the wring and no poroblems since.
