Just replaced my engine and everything works perfectly-except. The Dash. One issue is turn signals are working outside but the dash light turn signals are not. Everything else seems to work fine. Two, there is a flashing light lower left O/D off. I did overfill the transmission before startup, should have just put in a couple quarts and got the engine running to turn that pump. Wasn't thinking. I'm down a couple of weeks due to knee surgery and am trying to line up ideas to diagnose these problems. The trans fluid is correct now and was driven for initial break in. Transmission didn't shift correctly but didn't over-rev either. Hopefully sitting for a few weeks will drain any transmission fluid away from electrical components that may or may not have something to do with that O/D flash. Looking forward to getting back to it and getting running well.
