I have a '73 914 converted to a 914-6, that previously had a 911 combo gauge (pressure/temp)
I'm cabling up a super cool Mark-quad-gauge, but am puzzled by the e-brake lamp. It has a lot more wires going into it than the other lamps. Anyone know what they are? One of the brown/white is the ebrake. Also the power lead is black/white/green, while the others are the normal red/white switched. If I was better at reading schematics I'm sure it would make perfect sense. My inclination is to just plug it in, but I thought I'd ask first. There's enough electrical weirdness with this car I'd rather understand things (radio powered off the clock, for example, is probably not correct!) Thanks.

The ebrake light also functions as the brake master cylinder failure warning light. So if you see that flashing red light, either your e-brake is on, or your master cylinder has failed. So you have a +12v supply wire (which is your black/white/green), you have your brown/white w/ diode which goes to your parking brake (and safety belt warning light), and you have your brown/white which goes to your master cylinder.
So that all looks right, from what I can see. |
