idiot lights all on

Hey guys, I had a seat belt light that was constantly on so i pulled that one light out,

Now all the other lights are always on, All except CEL and brake. But they are dim.

Is it because i pulled the one light now they are all on? oh and my clock just stopped working like the day after , lol

The clock is due to the cold solders on the circuit board going bad. Re-solder it and see if that fixes your warning light issues as well. You probably knocked something loose when you pulled the seat belt bulb.

If the engine was running and all the lights on it would be indicative of a problem w/the alternator. To check if this is the problem you would disconnect the largest plug to the CPU and locate the White/Black wire. With key to on and engine off it should measure 1 to 3 volts and with engine running it should read 12 volts. If it measures out properly under both instances then it is likely the cause is coming from the idiot light unit.
