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)

No thermocouple; it uses an NTC thermistor.
First guess is you have the wires hooked up incorrectly. "G" is for "Gauge" (or perhaps the German for "signal"??) and not for ground. + would get the +12V, the ground symbol (triangle made up of horizontal lines) would get the ground, and the G would get the signal wire. Full-deflection means that the signal terminal of the gauge is grounded. BTW, if you squash the sender wire between the motor mount bar and the rubber motor mounts, it can get grounded and peg the gauge. Been there, done that!! --DD |
