I have been having trouble with the indication lights on my 88 polo.

When the lights are switched on (and the key out of ignition) all works ok.

When the key is turned the clock lights go out, the adjustable dial works on the blue light and the headlights are reversed.

The high beam indication is on when high beams are off.

I have heard about an earth fault but this only started after I removed the dash surround, no other wiring has been touched.

Bad earth fault. Fixed now well done myself.
