Leaving the indicator on after parking?

Nearly always a bad earth in the lighting pod. But it may rather depend
on what car it is......

Oh could be parking light as well? Does that illuminate the rear as well
as the front?

Which model? F12, Matta, Zagato?

If it's a 147 or 156 -> typical for blown MosFet(s) inside the revcounter.
Change MosFets (available at Farnell, Radioshack, RS-Components....) or
complete revcounter.
