Ok I pulled my early combo gauge (dated '69) because only half of the indicator light was illuminating. I see 1 wire (red/white) that is not connected and I have an open bulb slot. Do I just need a single spade bulb sleeve to install and hook that loose wire to it?

RED/WHITE is a 12v power lead.

QUOTE(914Sixer @ Sep 14 2025, 11:48 AM)  RED/WHITE is a 12v power lead. So are you saying it is not for a 2nd bulb? By the way thx again for the screens for heat control unit already installed.  |

Out of topic, but this indicator light is split? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
It means it could be used for two different warnings if one would want, one on the left one on the right? Could they be of different colors? Back to regular programming, sorry for hijack. |

QUOTE(Montreal914 @ Sep 14 2025, 05:20 PM) One side for parking brake and the other for MC fault switch? If you don't find where the red/white QC connector goes, at least tape it up or heat shrink something on that exposed connector. Lots of metal to ground out behind the gauges. |

In my 73, the light extends all the way across. Maybe the PO did some mods??

It's a red lens all the way across so I'm guessing I need another bulb, Yes?

Yes will re-tape the spade if I don't figure this out. It was taped when I removed it. |
