Hello. Pulling my instrument panel out for refurbishing. 1. I see that there is a missing bulb or something that goes into this female connector On the early model fuel gauge. anyone know what that part is and where I could find it? See yellow highlight.
2. Red wire. This must be a power wire as it continues down to other gauges with multiple connections. I think seven in all. See the second picture. What’s odd is what I open up the dash the connector highlighted wasn’t connected to anything. You would think it would need to power the item in number one above but if it was connected to that it wouldn’t of reached to all the other connectors on the other gauges. Could there be a jumper wire from that red female terminator to the location in picture one? Thanks. Todd |

Hey Brian. I don’t know the answer that question. I’ve never had the car running. It’s a 1970 I pulled out of the garage in Oakland California about six months ago. What is stored for 25 years and now I’m going through the instrument panel.
I’m assuming what’s missing had two terminals. I imagine the red with white wire needs to power one of those terminals but the lead is too short. One of the terminals on the red and white wire was unplugged from anything yet all the other gauges were completely wired in series from it. That red wire comes Out of the main harness. It first plugs into the back of the multi gauge then continues Daisy chained to the tach and speedometer. |
