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? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

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

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? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

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! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
.... 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! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
