    strange guagetry issue

    the right turnsignal indicator seems to be illuminated all the time, not fully but just a little bit, it gets brighter when the brakes are applied and i think it gets a little brighter with speed as well.
    any clue as to what could cause this?

    100% guess, but cracked instrument panel letting light from the instrument cluster lights through

        Yeah, one of my turn signal indicators slightly illuminates when the brakes are pressed. My check panel brake light warning won't go away, I'm thinking this may be related. Anyone?

          My car does this as well, its VERY dim but I can see it light up.

          Its simply power backfeeding into the blinker circuit.

            every thing works find the check panel light shuts off with brakes applied its just kind of annoying. only happens with lights on, dont know if i said that or not. and its gotten alot brighter in the past few months

              I had that exact problem last week. found it was the right rear turn signal bulb holder. cleaned it and greased it, then re crimped it a bit so it holds the bulb tight. problem is gone
