65 dash cluster wiring problem

[Craig F.]

Looking for some help with a wiring issue in the dash cluster. I removed my dash cluster to replace old bulbs, clean the lenses and lubing some switches and now that i have reinstalled all the wiring and switches we have an issue. When i turn on the parking lights everything lights as it should but so does the right turn signal indicator bulb, not the left, just the right. When you go the headlights then the right turn indicator goes off and then appears normal
any ideas what i may have messed up or have connected wrong??
Thanks

Try dimming the lights with the headlight switch - if the turn signal light dims you have it swapped with a regular gauge illumination bulb, if it does not you prob have it switched with one of the warning lights HI BEAM / BRAKE / LIGHTS, etc..

With the key on engage the right turn signal with the lever and see if any of the gauge area lights blink.

Thanks for the suggestions Frank. This bulb does not dim as the others and the other 3 warning lights are in place. I can't check your last idea because the column and turn signal switch is out of the car right now but I will check that when I can
thanks!
