Hey all,
I searched!... the world over and thought I found truue love , but youuu met another and Pfffft you were gooone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) Seriously I took out my speedo, tach and other related gauges to do some painting and I did not do the intelligent thing and take a nice digital picture of the lay out. What was I think'in? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) I searched the Bird and here and could not find a picture. Just the electrical diagrams and I know I need some serious schooling to be able to read those. They don't make a lick of sense to me. Does anyone have a picture with all the little purty wires and perspective bulb holders in their correct places?

I don't have any pics to speak of but getting the wires back shouldn't be too hard. If you haven't already, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery so accidental shorts don't occur when moving the wires.
Process of elimination can get some of the wires back together. For starters, there should be a string of bulbs together. These are illumination bulbs, should go 2 to a gauge. Brown wires are ground, should go to each gauge. There should be 2 bulbs together with 3 wires, these are for turnsignals. Highbeam bulb on tach should be on a white/black wire. parking light bulb on speedo should be on a white/green wire. parking brake bulb on gas gauge should have 2 wires, black/white and brown/white. generator bulb on gas gauge should have 2 wires, red/white and green/red. alternator bulb on gas gauge should have 2 wires, red/white (same wire as generator bulb) and black wire. low gas bulb on gas gauge should have 2 wires, red/white (same as as generator bulb) and black wire. I'm reading these off of my Haynes manual for a '73. Your wires may vary. Spoke |
