My electrical plan shows that all of the gauge illuminating lights emanate from or terminate at a single location. it's a '73.
Where is that? I haven't dug too far into it because I don't want to muck up too much. Thanks |

Depends how far you want to trace it back, but yes, the black wire with blue stripe does lead back to the rheostat part of the headlight switch.

I had a break in the wire in that area somewhere under the dash and could not find the bad part. It was hard to trace it all back. I took the wire from the console gauge illuminunation from under the carpet and extended that to under the dash and made the illumination loom' from there.

Hmmm. Not getting thru to me.
My electrical diagram (Pelican) shows 8 or more wires from/to the gauge illuminating lights coming together just above and to the left of the tach, #22 - nowhere near (as if that matters) near the light switch, #28. On the other page, it's above and to the right of the fuel gauge. I'd like to find that jumble of wires. TIA |
