Turn signal pegs tachometer 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Flint on  Sun Feb 23 16:03 CST 2003 [RELATED]

The turn signals in my wife's '83 245 stopped working. When I try to signal there is a buzzing sound from somewhere behind the dash. Ok, is probably a bad relay and I should track it down and replace it, but...

1) While the buzzing is coming from the center of the dash, the tachometer zooms to some high rpm. It acts like it is on the way to being pegged, but I have been turning off the signal promptly to avoid damaging the tach.

2) The alternator lamp is partially lit at all times. It just glows dimly.

I can't swear that #2 is new, but I think it must be.

Can a bad turn signal relay feed voltage to other parts of the instrument panel, or it there some short circuit in the panel preventing the relay from operating normally?

Thanks,
Flint
