I am having trouble with my speedometer and warning lights as well as my right headlight and my hazard lights.First, my warning lights and speedometer go crazy and constantly click and blink.Second, my right headlight only comes on sometimes but I have no brights at allThird, I have no hazards or any power to my cigarette lighter.I have tried multiple diagnostics and still can't pinpoint it. I have done the SR swap, so do I need the kilometer gauges? Please help, Thank You for your time.

no you do not need km gauges.

define "brights" you mean high beams?

your constant clicking at the turn signal markers, are both sides going at once? if so, have you tried pulling your hazard switch to see if that problem persists?

sounds to me like you've a short along the wiring harness behind the dash that runs to the cluster.

Yes by brights I mean "high beams". And the hazard lights aren't even working. Also, by warning lights I mean the e-brake light, battery light, etc. and they just blink on and off very fast. AND, the speedometer jumps up and down at idle like an RPM gauge just very quick.

not sure about the flickering problem or the brights, but for the tachometer you have to re-pin 2 wires on the ecu to get it to properly read the sr's signal
