Still having loads of wiring problems with my Nova.

Latest one is if I have ignition on and the dash is lit up and I press the horn or electric window switches the rev counter goes up and down and the oil pressure and battery warning squares go off. I have gone over every car earthing point with no joy and haven't a clue what to try next.

Also the light on the electric window switch has gone dim and keeps flickering. I have already replaced the switch once as the bulb blew for some reason as did the central locking solonoid.

Dash works ok when car is running but oil pressure gauge is reading a bit lower than it should when car has warmed up but would rather sort the electrical problem out before starting to pull the engine apart.

Any ideas people?

check the fuse box, mine had a melted connection and did similar things.

Check your earths too, my gearbox to chassis one failed and the engine decided to earth itself by back-feeding the dials with the wipers and lights randomly coming on too.
