Hello Doug

How are you doing? Do you mean the blinkers will not work on the exterior but working on the cluster? I'm gonna check my files on this Doug. Please stand by. You may type your response on the blank space and click on the blue Send Response button.

Thank you

Relly

Thank you for that information Doug. I'm checking the possibilites at the moment. I'll be back in a few. By the way, you said you have a repair manual?

They should have atleast use a sandpaper to remove the paint before putting on the ground

Im looking at my files but all grounds are black in color and other grounds have combination like BLK/ LT GRN, BLK / TAN. On the cluster harness, You may want to start checking the wires Doug. This is an old one and the wires may have been corroded as well. Do you happen to have an electronic contact cleaner? This can help in cleaning the connections of the harness. 

Do you have BODY CONTROL MODULE in your repair manual Doug? Mostly it can be the culprit as well. We work on trucks and cars and the reason why the electrical fails is because of a failing BCM. I don't have the specific location for the Shadow's BCM but you may try to check on your end. Is there any yard near your place so that you can test the BCM before purchasing it. 

The BCM (Body Control Module) is the electronic control unit that monitors and controls all of the systems in the car's body. Electric windows,A/C functions, electric mirrors,electric locks,security systems, lights, etc. It communicates with all the other modules via the cars vehicle bus.

No worries Doug... I'm still checking on the ground locations. To tell you frankly, this is the first time I'm gonna work on a Shadow. Never had one visited our shop as well for a long time. I'll try my very best to check on the grounds but I strongly suggest that you pull that cluster first. The current continuity issue can be underlying right there.

I agree... I'll be leaving a message right here incase anything comes up. By the way, may I ask for your email address because if the file is too big I can't attach it in the chat page. Thanks Doug

You're most welcome Doug. Have a great day!

Hello Doug

I just can't find the precise for the shadow. By the way, is it a Chilton's manual you're using? It's the only possible thing that can guide us but can't open it in my end. You may want to order a copy online if you wanted to. It has everything you need. Please click on the blue DODGE CHILTON link below

Hope this helps Doug. I'll be standing by for  your response.

Thank you

Relly

Thought it was worth trying. Will it indicate the location of the BCM on the Mopar Manuals? All I can suggest for now is to check the harness of the cluster. Another one is check on the black wires or any black wires with other color combination

Hello Doug

Hope everything is well. Any luck on pulling out the cluster? I'll be standing by for your response. Have a great day!

Relly

You're welcome and no worries Doug. That's over engineering right there putting two relays hiding behind the radio console. Good luck Doug and I'll be checking back from you from time to time. Thank you and have a great day ahead!
