    My Hot and Brake idiot lights don't come on as they should as I crank the engine over (don't worry, I'm installing gauges soon, but am keeping the lights). The temp sender is new, and works when I manually ground it. Oil and Gen act as they should.

    Does anyone have an idea about what I should look for? I have a feeling it may be a bad ground, but where?

    CyberBuick What she used to be....

    80+ % of Dash grounds go through the wire that runs to the brake pedal assembly. Slide under the dash and follow the pedal up until ya spot a black wire with a nice size end on it that's bolted/screwed to the assembly. Undo the bolt/screw and cleanup/sand the connector and mounting surface. I did this when I installed my radio and it cured the entire front interior lights dimming with the engine. It's a start anyways... Happy Gremlin Hunting!

    Thanx, I'll take care of that.
    Oh, what does the wire going to the parking brake do? Just let me know when its engaged? That one has been dangling a while.
