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)

OK, I hooked up the three connections on the oil gauge, 12v, ground, and green/black signal wire. The gauge immedietly pegs to full temp, with or without the green/black wire hooked. In my experience with heavy industral machinery, this would indicate a failed thermocouple, or no thermocouple. Since the gauge package was not part of my 914 origianally, is there even a thermocouple at the other end of the green/black wire, or do I have to add one?
