Subject:SPAM:FIXING THOSE DASHBOARD LIGHTS

I have had no instrument lamps lo these many nights. Sometimes the fuel
guage was showing Empty on a full tank. Turning on the headlights would turn
the tachometer off....Something was not right.
I loosened 4 screws and a few wires to remove the binnacle. A dab of
toothpaste on the male end of the panel plug (part of the fragile foil
circuit) and a careful rub and a wipe and I am back in biz. Now if I could
only get my replacement digital clock to fire up and the Hi-beam lamp to
function I would have full function on my cool ride. Oh, check the brown
ground wire while you are in there. Happy Friday. I'm pedalling home now.
