glowing turn signal indicator?
So I'm hooking up the dashboard and I've been noticing that I've got a faint glow coming from the turn signal indicator in the dashboard, even with the car off/key out. Any ideas why?

These are basic suggestions and I'm sure you have thought of this but:
-Ambiant light hitting it/them just right?
-Another indicator light that is on and causing the it/them to seem slightly lit?
I suppose you could pull the fuse for the turn signals and see if it goes away?

I think that you might have something grounding out somewhere. This has happened to me a few times. Somehow a power wire is feeding a little juice into ground wires. For whatever reason the eclectrcity has no place to go except throught that light. If you could check it, you might see that the tiny bit of power for that light (when the car is off) is actually comming through the ground. Your guess is as good as mine to find out where to look first. I would check light bulbs and connections in the signals themselves. Once or twice I've seen wrong bulbs and/or bad grounds around them do this sort of thing.
