Turn signal light in dash
« on: February 25, 2018 - 02:03:14 PM »
 How hard is it to replace the turn signal light in the dash on a 72 Cuda?

Not all that hard, the bulb is in the back of the cluster, it rotates (I believe to the left) to release it, then replace the bulb and reinstall it. It grounds on the back of the cluster if I remember right, so it will not work if not replaced unless you supply a ground.

I just looked at my spare harness and it appears that the socket just pushes into the cluster. Once the socket is pulled straight out you then twist the bulb out. 70chall440, I wonder if you're thinking about the light tubes on a rallye dash that rotate.

The attached picture of my spare rallye cluster shows just a hole for the turn signal bulb's socket.
