Hey all:

Dan is right. Even on the 91 and newer the hood, trunk, and glove box lights only illuminate when the marker/head lights are on.

Smoking from the steering column sounds like a short. Or perhaps overloading the column light switch. Perhaps running high wattage bulbs without relay.

Low speedo/tach readings have been a problem with the monopods. No one has outlined a fix. My tach is reading low as well. I am in the process of investigating this. I have found that the Milano/75 had an adjustment screw internal on theirs so maybe we have one as well. If that doesn't get it, I would also check the pod grounds, and all the connections between the speedo/tach and their respective sending units. Tach gets its signal from the crank pulley timing sensor. There is a connection at the sensor and another connection up near the left side air bag sensor/washer bottle.

Best Regards,
John M
