After installing my oil pressure gage, i've developed a minor electrical gremlin that i havn't had the best luck solving. The light bulb on the hazard light switch (and defrost baby bulb) glows when the car is running, and goes from very dim to moderately bright - directly proportional to engine RPM. This does not happen if you disconnect the harness from the instrument cluster (where the hazard switch light is grounded to), and you ground the switch directly to the chassis. Interesting thing is, if you ground the switch directly to the chassis while the harness is still plugged into the instrument cluster, the engine dies (and won't start). So is this the tach signal leaking on to/shorting to the ground wire? Can anyone shed some light on this (so to speak)?
