Well.. after replacing the flashers in my new project and gaining the rear turn signals and hazards, and having the front not working... i traced my wires out.. and found that the previous owner had wired my front turn signals with the "hott" wires backwards.. he had the ground connected properly.. but not the power wires... wow... after removing the duct tape and seeing that he had just tied the wires together... i brought out the butt connectors... strippers.. heat shrink tubing.. and electrical tape.. and i fixed it and wired it "correctly"

im starting to get a feeling this will be my hardest challenge... fixing someone elses botched repairs..

It is very easy to become the victim of the previous owner's efforts. Congratulations on finding the problem and fixing it correctly.

Is this an original Cluster that would work in my 1987 Convertible 2.3L? Turn signals work, but not correctly.
