i would think a pix would look like spagetti (the back of mine reminded me of that). also, there is not much "stretch" distance to show the back, the wires are a bit ..... tight? too short? snug? .... so i don't think it's easy to get a pix with good view. what do you need to know? i've had luck understanding the 73- current flow diagrams from the haynes and factory color diagrams.

Haynes is your friend. It took me MANY hours to understand it but it is ALL you need. Just my ever so humble opinion.

Jim,

I have been working with the fuel gauge, have a spare, wired them both up according to what I have been told and I have seen in the haynes manual. No read at all. I am mainly trying to figure out where the power source comes from to the gauge. It dosen't appear to be a direct fee, so it looks like it jumps from another power source. ????
