One combo gage backside shows lamp in 2nd from left position, but mine is a 76 with that position dedicated to cat converter warning lite. Another image shows other lamp positions, but mine has none.
Does the gas gage have aa built in lamp ? I can see nothing from the backside other than the low fuel indicator lamp., Same for the oil temp gage. Current track 37 shows L7 fuel gage lamp, but can't find it anywhere. |

I have a silver dot combo gauge, the yellow warn does not work it's actually a fake (faux) light lens.
It is this bulb holder that works for the gauge backlight, took me a bit to figure this out. |

QUOTE(Mark Henry @ Jan 10 2020, 10:18 AM)  I have a silver dot combo gauge, the yellow warn does not work it's actually a fake (faux) light lens. It is this bulb holder that works for the gauge backlight, took me a bit to figure this out. MH, you're correct. Wiring another illumination lite into that orange receptical now provides a little light the the combo gage. Interesting that the harness did not have any extra wiring to do this, nor was there a lamp fixture in my combo gage. Apparently that orange warning position was never used. I have a 75 owners manual that shows 2 separate warning lamps positioned near the bottom of the insturment cluster for cat converter & EGR warning functions. I used to have a link to a web site that had all years gages identified, but now can't find it. Google is not your friend. Barefoot |
