Howdy!
I was getting the light inside the floor mounted defrost lever indicator working last evening, when I pulled the carpet back. I discovered several electrical connection, which I ASSume are for center console gauges. I have purchased used 914 volt, and oil temp gauges. Will these plugs assist me in hookup? Are these for gauges? Is there a color code somewhere? yoei66 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |

I built my own console with new gauges and used the wires you are refering to. I found the wiring diagrams in the Haynes manual and especially Pellican Parts a whole lotta help. There are wires for each gauge, for the lighting in each gauge as well as ground wires. The wires that control the instrument lighting are connected to the headlight switch and are controlled by the reostat that controls the dash lights. Good luck.
