I just drove the TR3 in the dark for the first time, and while the lights
work fine, I noticed the indicator light in the speedometer did not.  The
bulb checked out  and the lights works if I run a ground to the body of the
bulb holder, but surprisingly not if I run a ground to the gauge itself.

 

I guess I can wedge a ground wire in with the bulb holder, but I'm surprised
a ground to the gauge wouldn't do the same.  Am I missing something here?
