My 1976 has 4 lights on the combo gage. From left to right parking break, gen, ?, oil pressure. What is the red one 3rd from the left?

My owners manual doesn't show it. It doesn't come on

Should be white and not used.

IIRC, it was intended for the Sporto. Possibly some kind of over-temp indicator. Probably would have cost them too much to change the design after they decided to dump the Sporto, so they just left it unused.

It has a bulb and there are 2 wires going to it. It's red

Chances are that someone added a light, or moved a factory light to that position. As far as I know, it should be blank.

Although pictures would help 100%.

3rd from the left???

It's not used. I've seen white, yellow and now red covers to that hole.
The wires you see behind are the gauge illumination, not for that specific indicator. You can take out one of the gauges and look inside.

I've always wondered what that left light is for. I guess a PO removed the sensor from my car. Where should the parking brake light sensor be located?

It's an unused warning light, which takes the place of the big one where the fuel gauge on your combo one goes.

Being a 76 - almost everyone I've seen has had the center console & more or less fully loaded with all available options, in order for Porsche to clear them out in that last MY.

If yours has the center console, did a PO swap-out the OT gauge thee for OP or something else?

I don't have a center console

The "B" light on the left is the brake warning light. It's the same light as the parking brake light.

This combo gauge was standard for 2.0 cars that didn't have a center console. A similar one was used in the 914-6es.

Sounds like one of a few factory variants without the center console & with the combo gauge put on all 2.0's 73-76 without the console mounted OT gauge, but only your window sticker/dealer sales invoice from when new &/or an accurate COA will tell you that.

I love to see the less common variants in our 914s!
.... Make sure to put some description of your 76's set-up, OE equipment & options in your VIN listing to help others researching on their own 914s.

That link above shows & talks about the differences between the 70-72 914-6, 73-74.25 2.0 & 74.25-76 2.0 style combo gauges.

In any case, your 3rd warning light not working isn't a problem for you!

Cheers!
