Apologies for the gap in posting, what with cold weather and having other things to do I haven’t updated anything in a while!
So, I took my new dash binnacle that arrived last month and decided to fit it.
What follows is lots of pictures of my wiring, with some brief description to help other people out. Took me 2 hours in all, including having a rolly, finding tools and having a cup of tea!
This is the back of the Water Temp and Fuel gauge pod. The layout (on mine anyway is…)
1 Green wire that splits into 2 go on both the fuel gauge and temp gauge.
This is the light for the pod. It was black when I pulled it out, nice and clear now! Much brighter!
This goes in the bottom of the Fuel gauge.
The Green only one goes to the water gauge.
And finally, this pulls out to reveal the cold start light. Again, pitch black!
This is what the pod seal looked like after I’d removed it. The Speedo one wasn't much better. I just used an elastic band on both when re-fitting.
My fuel gauge. Didn’t take the water temp one out as it was spotless clean, and VERY fragile!
I presume this rusty specimen has something to do with the Speedo is here. Dark Green went on the left, Light Green is on the Right.
The far left is the Oil Pressure light.
White/Green in the middle is Beam
Beam light again, with an earth lead coming off. This fixes on the earth point with the light blue wire.
White & Blue/White is Cold Start.
This is the master light switch (off, side & side + main)
This is the heater switch. Which doesn't work at the moment as the heater needs to be wired up.
The left side is the old wiper switch. I have no idea how to wire up the proper switch so will be making forum posts and updating this accordingly. Right is the wash switch
Everything fitted. No random holes, cracks etc. Need a new fuel and water pod as the glass has cracked but it’s only cosmetic!
Amazing what happens in 2 hours.
