No speedo,dash clock,or radio?? 86' T-bird Reply #4 – February 12, 2007, 12:17:17 AM actually thats good that its stuck on AM band.If you wanna do a wiggle test for intermittant connections, Having the radio set on AM will help cause it will pick up crackel and pops in your chassis wiring.thats probably what it is, intermittant connection.there are two connectors on the rear of the cluster, if you have had the cluster out once,, maybe one or the other is backing off.

I replaced 6 of the cluster bulbs with blue lights and it looked good until the numbers disappeard. The blue light sort of looks like the light on an Indiglo watch. They also cost half the price of clear bulbs, but I figure they will have half the life of the clear bulbs. Quote Selected

No speedo,dash clock,or radio?? 86' T-bird Reply #10 – February 20, 2007, 10:59:47 PM I tore it all apart again and jcassity is the winner! It must have been a bad connection. I unplugged both connectors, plugged them back in, making sure they were in tight, and I once again can tell how fast I'm going. I'm still not sure if that was the problem with the radio or not. I just figured it was a perfect time to buy a new cd player. Thank's alot guy's.:D Quote Selected
