Hey, has anybody experienced fuel gauge rising when using right turn signal. I have checked grounds going to dash panel and were good. Also no dash lights. Replaced the turn signal, headlight switch and flasher switch with no results. Also had dash out several times and applied power and all dash bulbs checked good. Also checked dimmer switch, cleaned contacts and also replaced and cleaned up power module contacts on back of dash. Any info on this would be helpful. Will check forums again for comments on this matter.

Are you seeing any of the same types of symptoms with the temp or oil pressure gauges?
Does the water temp gauge show an increase as you turn on the lights and increase the A/C fan speed?

Temp gauge good, oil gauge sticks halfway, fuel gauge moves past full when using right turn signal.

It sounds like you have a bad ground or bad connection in the instrument panel. Is the right blinker light look to be the same brightness as the left blinker?

Look closely at the connections where the flexible plastic circuit connects to the body wiring connectors.

Look for places on the flex circuit sheet where the copper traces have lifted off the plastic sheet. Some super glue on the bottom of the copper traces will stick them back in place.

See http://www.stangnet.com/tech/cluster87-93.pdf for information on the wiring. Take notice that there are 2 different wiring schemes on the diagram, be sure to use the one for your model year car.
