Please help with panel wiring

[panhandler62]

I screwed myself up here.

I had a three-holer panel that I am replacing with a full set (not a tach/vacume, just the regular full instument set)

I got the tip page from GMCPaul and popped all the wires out of the lom plug. When I went to put them back in the new places I ran into a couple problems.

1) There are two tan wires.. I did not realise I needed to keep track of which was which until it was too late...

2) I do not have a black w/ white stripe wire

3) I have two dark blue wires of identical shade

4) I have a dark brown wire

5) I do not have a black w/brown stripe

I can't make sense of this when I look at these instructions --
=========================================================

Swapping A Idiot Light Dash Out To Gauge Dash
The following is for a gauge dash this gives the numbered position of the wires in gauge dash and followed by what it supplies, then number from idiot light dash you move wire from.
1-Black with white stripe (alternator) This runs from the 12 R from voltage regulator and should have a inline fuse.
2-Tan (Brake warning light) Original position 2
3-Pink (Fuel Gauge) Original Position 7
4-Tan(Fuel Gauge) Original Position 4
5-Empty(not Used)
6-Dark Green (Temp. Gauge) Original position 5
7-Black(ground)Original Position 6
8-Gray(cluster light feed) Original Position 12
9-Medium Blue (Right turn) Original Position 11
10-Lt. Blue (left turn) Original Position 10
11-Lt. Green (high Beam indicator) Original Position 9
12-Black/w brown stripe use wire ran from the junction block near battery mounted to passenger side fender with a inline fuse located at junction block end.
Remove the wires from your loom plug and place the colors in the # on plug that corresponds with the color from list above. You will need to replace your idiot light temp. gauge for a temp. sending unit with gauges. The black and white wire feeds from the 12gRed wire off back of alternator and requires the use of 2-4amp inline fuses, this wire you need to make and run. The DARK BLUE wire that was originally in #1 position should be deleted because this was the idiot light for the oil pressure. If you need more info. ask

Hmmm... I guess I'm not alone in being baffled... lol

Let me try bieng more specific and see if it rings a bell for someone.

After fussing around for a while I identified which of the two blue wires is superfolous and which is the right turn signal and everything works except the ammeter.

In position 1 I have a dark brown wire (cause it didn't go anywhere else.. lol) and in position 12 I have zippy.

Am I suppose to run the wire for position 12 myself, or do I scavenge it from the harness somewhere? Has anyone done this conversion before?

sounds like you have to add this wire. This diagram will show the ammeter wires. Hope this helps. Good luck John

That clears a lot up.. Thanks bunches..
