) Fitted a new hazard switch (it was faulty on the rocker contacts) and a new flasher unit (cheap nasty thing had shorted out inside) so while I have the dash apart, I have installed a temp gauge and oil pressure guage (both Smiths) I had an amp meter and a nasty oil pressure guage that squirt oil over the back of the speedo pod. The panel lights were not very bright so out with the meter which showed only 3-4 volts, after a bit of head scratching I put a new earth on to the body instead of the speedo housing, nice and bright panel lights ... but the earth still puzzled me, meter out again and the speedo housing is showing 9 volts when ever a switch is operated which means that on the panel lights, I had a 12v supply and 3-4v going through the earth on the lamp and back to earth via the speedo to the body hence dim panel lights.Anyone have an idea why I am getting 9volts on the speedo and where is it coming from?
