Hello, on a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) 1976 2.0, no light on the gauge.
After unmounting the gauges, a flying black and blue wire is existing and the gauge lamps wire are black or black/purple instead of black/blue. I will appreciate if somebody can help. Sorry for my bad English, I'm a french (and newcomer) Nicolas  |

QUOTE(rfinegan @ Sep 8 2023, 05:11 AM)  combo gauge only has one back light if I Recall correctly and does not light very bright(even with LED in place) not very help full, but good to know The combo gauge has 2 general illumination bulbs. Seen in the pic with black lead and blk blu dotted lead. You can tell the general lights vs idiot/specific lights in each dash gauge by the mount. Idiot/specific lights, in each gauge use a plastic mount and ground through a tang outside the plastic. Hint if you use polarized LEDs here, the negative goes on the tang side. The general illumination bulbs, BA9s?, use the spring loaded mounts that look like spent bullet shells and ground through the holder into the gauge back. |
