After restoring and installing the gauge cluster in my 68 Charger now when the key is turned to "run" the dash lights and tail lights light up.
Not the parking lights or headlights, just dash and tail lights.
I double checked all connections and everything is good, all switches work fine except that lights come on when key is in run position.
Also, behind the wiper switch are two extra wires (brown w/tracer and brown) my diagram shows brown w/tracer goes to wiper switch and there is a terminal on the back of the switch for it but it doesn't fit.
I'm thinking this is probably a 3 speed wiper option and I have a 2 speed motor?
Otherwise the wipers work fine with that wire not connected.
But what is the brown wire for? My diagram doesn't show it.

See if it has fire w ign sw "on" and "start" then with your VOM see if it has continuity to ground & if not put 12V to it & see what activates. On the dash/tail lights I'd pull the connector off the light sw & start there with my meter & see whats hot & go from there

Here, but you need to start your own thread.
