I have this problem after pulling the EGI fuse. I would try starting it up again and see if it works now.

You might also consider pulling the instrument cluster and re-soldering cracked joints. Any printed circuit of this age is going to have solder joints which have cracked from vibration. Cracks can make instrument functions - including lights - really screwy It's easy to fix and made a difference on mine.

thanks, the meter fuse was blown, now to acquire a replacement. btw, i don't have a cover for that fuse box and "Meter" isn't something that i'd think would be for the guage cluster. thanks

you wouldn't think that gauges and meters are the same thing?
