OK, on my 83.5, just swapped out the dash cluster for a dash cluster with a
tachometer.

I am using the same switch block for the parking brake indicator.

When I make a left turn with the turnsignal on, the parking brake
indicator comes on!

I am going to check the switch at the brake this week, but I was
wondering, is there a wire in the steering column that would ground
parking brake light and cause it to come on?

It is probably at the brake lever itself, cause if I cycle the brake
lever up and down it will go off.

Strange gremlin...
