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)

Red/white == "switched" power; +12V when the ignition is on. Run to the voltmeter and oil temp gauge.
Brown == ground. Run to all three gauges, and possibly to the illumination lights if they have two prongs sticking out the back. Black/blue == instrument illumination power; has +12V when the parking lights or headlights are on. NOTE: On 74+ cars, the wires in the plugs you have for this connection are grey, not black/blue!! On those cars, the center console lights do not dim with the dash lights. Solid black == "unswitched" power to the clock. Always has +12V. Green/red (or green/black?) == oil temp signal wire. ...Uh, I think that was it... --DD |
