ok. But what about the possibility of removeing the xisistor, reverse it's position and resolder it into place????
It is not a 100% certainty that is the issue with the dash lights. Am assuming the cars were otherwise stock and just going on reports that to get the dash lights to work again they had to find an original flasher. I haven't personally verified the transistor is the reason but if so, not quite as simple as reversing. Typical transistors are classified as type PNP or NPN and are polarity specific. It would need a different transistor. Easy enough to do if you have the specs or the mfg number and can go to the catalog and find the complement to the one used. I didn't see a number on this one to cross or know what the specs are. It would take some research to get it right.
