can someone tell me where these wires go?

I got this new cluster when I bought this truck. These wires are not on the original cluster. Can someone tell me where they go and what they do?

Re: can someone tell me where these wires go?

Is there a gauge on the other side? Maybe a 4x4 switch indicator....

Yea I think it is my amp wiring. Not sure what to hook these to though.

What are the odds that maybe it is out of a heavier truck, I know some of them had air pressure gauges in that spot. Do you mean amp like for a stereo?

The gauge to the left is the one that has the wiring coming out. I think that is a batt/amp gauge. I'm not sure what to hook it up to though. I read and everyone says you can burn them up easy.

Re: can someone tell me where these wires go?

I have the exact same set-up for my gauge cluster with no wires. That is why I wonder if there isn't some sort of a light in there. I have seen a bunch of people put 4x4 indicators in there.

It is not an amp guage. It must be some sort of light. Maybe a 4x4 indicator light?
Who did you buy the cluster from? They should be able to tell you.

Re: can someone tell me where these wires go?

Best thing to do is pull it apart and trace the wire. They come apart very easily.

Ok, Next question. Should this cluster have a printed curcuit with it? This is one of those products that came with the truck when I bought it. It was new in a box that said re-pop. It just had the cluster and a woodgrain sticker in the box. I can't find anything on this company.

Yes it needs the printed circuit, otherwise only your mechanical gauges would work and no panel lights
