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 |

The issue with the term 'early' is that ther were three silver dot gauges. Maybe there was some wiring differences? The chassis harnesses which include the dash gauge wiring were also different for these 'early' years.
The sketch diagram is for a 1974 gauge...so may not be correct for any other model year. See here: http://www.p914.org/p914_gauges_fuel-comp_early.htm Attached image(s) |
