Right turn light won’t go off

I have a 82 GSL. The entire interior was removed from the car. All the interior parts were redone. Now everything has been reinstalled and now I have 1 issue that I can not figure out. Every time I go to plug my gauge cluster back up, the right turn signal light comes on. It doesn’t blink though. Also the front and rear exterior signal illuminates. This happens when I reconnect the black plug to the gauge cluster. It didn’t do this before everything was removed from the car.

The wires has been check for cracks and for direct shorts. Do not have a clue on what to do next. Have anyone else experienced this before? Any ideas will be highly appreciated!

Have you looked at the wiring diagram to check what could activate the lights? http://www.foxed,ca

I checked the wires at the plug and down the line from the plug. Do you have a copy of the diagram with just the turn signal wiring?

The Factory Service manuals including wiring diagrams can be found here: Foxed.ca

1982 wiring diagram: https://www.foxed.ca/rx7manual/manua...ingDiagram.pdf

Sometimes a lite bulb is from another that is bad. It could also be the turn signal switch.
