pulled cluster to reroute my cruise control vacuum hose, before pulling cluster everything worked ok. now everything still works fine when my lights are OFF, but when i turn my lights on:
1. Gas gauge drops to E
2. there is about 8v on the gas gauge ground
3. turn signal lights both turn on. if you signal left or right that seems to work, but both will still stay lit all the time.
I cleaned up all the grounds, not sure where else to look exactly. the 8v on the ground is baffling and I will admit i forgot to test other grounds on the cluster before posting this. i can do that tomorrow.

(me) decided to epoxy one of them in place because the housing was broke and when removing it broke the copper trace at the light for the fuel gauge. even though i can still trace the ground from the fuel gauge to a ground pin in the connector i am not getting continuity. it seems to work, but i don't trust it. but everything appears to work as it should again
