    Default gauge cluster problem

    well today i found out that one of my corner light bulbs were out...so i went to autozone and bought some brand new bulbs. now when i plugged the bulbs in everything worked ok. corner light came on and everything, BUT now when i use my turn signal, my cluster needle moves up and down between 800 and 1500 rpm. also when i use my turn signal while driving the rpm lags a shit load. was wondering whats the problem?

    take the bulbs back out and see if it still does it, you also may have pinched a wire when installing the cluster causing it to ground...if it doesnt mess up with the bulbs out, install one at a time and test that to see where the problem is..

    just took out the both bulbs and found out it still has the same problem. could it be the speed sensor? just had a friend look at the car and he said it could be the speed sensor. also when i installed the cluster i dont think i pinched any wires because it was working fine for a while now.
