75 914/4 2.0l California car.

I've given up trying to find either a photo, diagram, or post about the dash layout.


1) What are the two lights in the main instrument cluster face that are just below the tach? (one is on the left one is on the right). One is EGR, what side should it be on and what is the other light for?

2) What are the two holes to the left and right of the cigar lighter for? They look just like the holes for light switch and or warning flasher, etc. that are on the left side of the steering wheel.

Thanks,

Len

dash holes are Fog light switch and rear window defroster switch (if so equipped)

I don't have either rear defrost or intermittent wipers (that I know of).

I'll just plug them up.

The two lights under the tach (one to the left, one to the right)... one is EGR, I don't know what the other one is as the lens is missing. But it lights up with ignition on.

Motor is out of the car so I can't say what that light does with the motor running (should it ever see the day that it does run).

On a side, isn't there a 914 owners manual for idiots somewhere online?

EGR and CAT, that's what those are. They are triggered by the box in the passenger's footwell (in the foam block). There should be reset buttons on the box.

Check your Haynes manual, it will show you the box. A popular mod is to bypass that and use a regular speedo cable that runs from the trans to the speedo, instead of the later two-part one that goes from the trans to the box and from the box to the speedo.

They were only on cars manufactured for 75-76 California emissions.
