Worked on the pod and cluster all day. Got it all working EXCEPT speedo and gas gauge....but now I don't have taillights ( brake lights work, back up works, turn signal works ) and the headlights will not retract. No side markers or driving / fog lights...so back to work tomorrow.
Anyway here is the lighted dash at night with the bezel body color.

After a ton more cleaning and pulling the pod again ( because I felt something was not right) I saw ONE red wire had pushed out of the headlight switch. Reseated it and now I have taillights, side markers and the headlights retract. Then I noticed I had no low beams. Checked voltage at 25 and 26 fuse and both were under 10 volts. Cleaned the right ground at front and now I have low beams on the right side. Ran out of light so will clean left side tomorrow...I feel good it will fix the low beam issue.
Now back to the gas gauge and speedo. I did replace the gas tank while the car was on stands so I could of done something I need to fix now. More to come but its slowly coming together.
