Idiot light to fact gauge install

[Dave Hanlon]

To do this swap you need to remove the dash cluster . then remove the idiot light from the cluster and mark the circut board on the back side of the gauge .

[Dave Hanlon]

Then you want to make up tags to mark the gauge wires that need to be swaped around in the clip that ataches to the gauge.

[Dave Hanlon]

clip the dummy light gauge onto its harness and mark the wire with the tags.

[Dave Hanlon]

now remove the dummy gauges from the harness. and with a small awl or a paper clip remove themarked wires fron the clip.

[Dave Hanlon]

#2 removed wires

[Dave Hanlon]

respring the holding clip on end of wires so they click back in the holder / conector

[Dave Hanlon]

mark the circut board on the back or your new gauge pack

[Dave Hanlon]

install clip onto gauge pack .It will only go on one way.

[Dave Hanlon]

now you match yuor wires to the markings on your circut board installing your wires one at a time .

[Dave Hanlon]

Nice howto - maybe it should be in the FAQ section.

You will have an extra black wire (ground I think ) if you install a 1971 guage cluster in a 1972. So don't be alarmed.
