My '75 914 came with a center console that appears to be an add-on based on how it's wired. As well, the color of the wires don't match the diagrams I've found.
P.O. also installed an aftermarket radio that has power wires tied into the gauge wires. I've got some intermittent gremlins that need addressed and I want to clean this up/make it right. I see that AA and others sell a console gauge harness and believe I have read that '73+ cars came with the wiring necessary to connect this to. Is this correct? I haven't taken out the whole console yet to see where the current spaghetti setup is going...and not crazy about getting this deep if it's not going to fix the problems. Thanks guys! |

I have read that '73+ cars came with the wiring necessary to connect this to. Is this correct? It is. You car should have 3 connectors approx. parallel with your heater lever in a relief atop of the tunnel where the main harness runs. This is the OE spot which the console harness attaches. |
