Weird dash light problem.

[Dafey]

When I turn them on all that happens is the right blinker lights up and the gas guage goes to E.So far all I had time to check was the fuse.Any Ideas?
I have to drive home every night and dont wanna get a ticket for going 5mph over .

P.S. How many qts to change out the tranny filter,on a 77 th350?
After 25 yrs of 1/2 of every car/truck I owned was a chevy,you`d think I`d remember...

I had a problem similar to this and it turned the eye connector that was keeping a ground grounded had broken somehow and left a ground wire loose. Check to make sure nothing behind the dash is loose.

Check your grounds. Make sure you have the straps in between the frame and body and grounds connected at the lights.

It happend after I changed the oil/volt gauge bulb,bet I knocked a wire off.But I didnt see any loose when I took a quick glance under there.I`ll have to look really hard on Sat.

That's almost exactly what happened to me, tough thing about finding a ground wire behind the dash where it's dark is that it's a black wire...
