Re: Warning lights
Sometimes their called idoit lights. By the time you see the light it's too late.

Re: Warning lights

Re: Warning lights
no.
There are 2 seperate type of insterment panels in these trucks. the base model has a speedo, a fuel guage, and a few warning lights/dummy lights. The optional inst panel, has the speedo, fuel, then under them, an oil pressure guage, amp guage, and temp guage. The warning lights are supposed to take the place of the added guages. If the battery is not getting charged, a light comed on. If the oil pressure drops below a certian value, another light comes on, and if the engine gets hot, yet another light comes on.

Re: Warning lights
Does anyone have a good wiring diagram that shows the idiot lights for the full guage cluster? It's gotta temp and oil light IIRC in the gas gauge. But, with the wiring diagrams I've got, it's near impossible to see what routes to them.

Re: Warning lights
the only idiot light that gets hooked up in the optional inst panel is the brake light. The fuel guage is just a one p/n is cheaper than two kinda thing.
(this only aplies to 10 - 30 series trucks) |

Re: Warning lights
err, Brake and temp, that's right. It has lights to light them, and the printed circuit for the lights, but can't find where it all goes in the wiring diagram..
