Could someone please email me or post the diagram(s) of the instrument panel connectors? I'm trying to check over all my wiring from when i put in a painless wiring harness and don't wish to tackle this horrible nightmare again. I did a search but none of any help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Check your e-mail, you have a package waiting.

 

Thank you so very much. I don't think you know how much this helps me. If only they would put something like that in a Chilton's manual. Again, thanks.

 

hey trickster would you want to help me out..?

i put a new guage bezel in and after i connected the cigarette lighter and the defroster there was this extra set of wires..grey and black and had a connector on the end but i could find anywhere that it looked like it plugged into

 

It is probably for a small #74 light bulb that is on some models. Look under the dash pad above the cigarette lighter and see if there is a small panel with a lense in it.

 

what was this light for

 

i have my dash pad off and i see nothing...does the guage bezel have to be off too

 

The light just shone down on the A/C controls and radio so you could see them at night. It wasn't very bright and not very effective. You don't really need it if you don't want to mess with it. No, the guage bezel doesn't need to be off. You can just stick it up out the way if you want too.

 

did the light go under the center air vents ? cause i have a hole there but no lens

 

yes, some had the lens and some didn't.

 

hey trickster ... there is no way a lightbulb hooks into that plug...it has to prongs in it...and thats it and theres no place for a lightbulb just a hole in the center air vent

 

I wish I had a digital camera so I could take a picture of the one in my car. Do you mean that the connector has two prongs in it that would take something like a pin? The #74 light bulb has two pins that fit in the connector like some small AAA flashlights do. Okay I just found the schematic for it in my service manual and it is known (believe it or not) as the "ASH TRAY LIGHT", I kid you not.
