If I don't hold in the switch for my high beams I don't have dash lights, taillights or my speedometer. I just switched out the turning signal switch and still nothing has changed.

Hi,

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. What causes the tail lights not to work?

Let me know.

The gauge cluster does not work unless I hold in the turning switch.

Hi,

The only thing I see that ties the high bean into the cluster assembly is the high beam light. It leads me to believe the cluster may be bad.

If you look at the attached pic, I circled the cluster (Pic 1). Pic 2 shows the light I'm referring to. Pic 3 shows the only other thing I suspect could be an issue, and that is a poor ground for the cluster.

So, the first thing we need to confirm is a good ground. Note that the wires will be green and locates in the center area behind the dash panel. Check to make sure the wires are clean, tight, and free of corrosion.

Let me know.

Could the ground to the radio have anything to do with it? Because the radio stopped working like a week or 2 before the lights and speedometer and all that stuff working.
