Imagine my dismay when today I decided to open the dash (I was trouble shooting a fuel gauge not working-easy fix, PO had cut the wires at the tank for some reason), discovering a huge amount of loose wires. The PO had installed a completly different tach so I'm hoping alot of these wires (11) had a purpose for being disconnected. Vain hope most likely...
I did notice the brake warning light stays on all the time...and of course nothing else works (except the fuel gauge that I just hooked back up). The car is a v-8 converted teener so alot of stuff may be disconnected for that reason as well. The real problem is that I'm VERY color blind. I can read a schematic reasonably well if I know what color wires I'm looking at on the car, which brings us to the reason for this post! Could someone help me identify the loose wires I've numbered in the enclosed photograph? What color corresponds to the numbered wires? With that data I should be able to figure out what was supposed to go where and assimilate if it was disconnected for purpose. Wiring and color blindness can be a serious challenge, so any help is appreciated :-) David Oh and btw, if you click on the image and then click again you'll get a very close view ![]() |

Got that David?
Number 4 hooks to both lights 6 to left 8 to right And as Jonathan points out you have no indicators in the tach, so you can hook up the top two brake warning bulbs. Thought they were indicator bulbs, sorry. |

Thought they were indicator bulbs, sorry. I'm slightly confused. For clarity sake....yep, I'm going to use those illumination pots for turn sighnal indicators. I've decided to use BOTH lights. So, are we saying 4 (blue/wht) goes to one pole on one light and then needs a jumper to the other light and then 6 goes on one pole and 8 goes on the the other pole of the other light, right. I suppose the confusion is in 4. Do I need to jump 4 to the second light? That seems to make sense if it's the power and I need power to both bulbs... |
