I nearly have the body electrial complete, just a few thing to complete. I'm lost on this one. I don't have enough light bulbs for the heater controls in the dash. There are two general lights (black with blue strip wire) and I think they go in the bottom locations, but only one light for the top (one red, one brown/grey). But there are two places for a light on the top! I can't find a light without a home. Could it be that I don't use one of the light locations? Oh, this is a "73. On my parts car that is a "75, there are three general light bulbs in a row. Upper left and the two lower locations.

Just a heads thought here, I have a '74 2.0 with same 3 your talking about, and actaully was going to go back in and either make it a two or run a jumper and make it a four.. Now what is intended factory I do not know though 4 seem to be the optimal.. Second class of thought was prior to either cutting one or adding a jumper was to double check the seatbelt warning light which is right next to where we are discussing and making sure it has a light too and one of the three was not intended ect.. .. All that said If your need a bulb holder w/ bulb for a jumper then i will give it to you free.. PM me though as I am not reliable to come back to this topic in my mind..

There are actually only 2 in the heater controls. One of the others is the "fan on" indicator bulb.

NO SHIZLE!! freaked me out how pointless useless they are that way.. But it is true.. |
