    I have a 94 Grand Prix with a 3.1 and it has started to jump the speedometer and tach when I'm using the signals.
    While setting in my driveway I had other dash lights on like the ebrake and seat belt lights they also dim and brighten with the flash.

    Is this a sign of the switch going bad or a bad ground??
    Has anyone had this happen?? Thanks, AMXTRA

    does it happen when the engine is on or even when it`s off?
    if only when on- probably there`s a problem with the alternator charging regulator and/or grounding.
    if it happens in both cases- probably bad ground.
    is the battery o.k.?

    It only happens when the car is running.
    The battery is new.
