Definitely sounds like a ground problem. I can get you the wiring
diagrams by this evening in PDF format.

Hi! I just traded my jeep for a 93 dak 5.2 auto 2wd. I replaced the
ps
pump&water pump and got it running pretty good, but I'm having an
electrical problem. with the truck running,and the lights are on, the
guages go nuts(voltmeter &tach drop down and the gas guage and temp
reads high, but low fuel indicator light works normally)the dash lights
go off,except the turn signal indicators&high beam indicator. turning
the turn signals on makes the guages jump up and down with the turn
signals. problem comes and goes, but seems to be more there than not.
also. if i turn the ignition switch on with engine off, i can faintly
see the turn signal and high beam indicator dimly lit. i suspect a bad
ground or short somewhere, but don't have a clue where to start looking.
any words of wisdom? or anybody have a good wiring diagram-haynes manual
is a joke. also, what are the breakdown years for the different
generations. thanks. mike
