Is there a Factory harness for my Gauge Cluster Lights? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

blkcorvair · 12-09-2011, 11:11 PM

So I have the base of all base model trucks. (69) I have three gauges. (None which light up. Also my heater does not light up. It looks like all of the provisions are there for the factory to simply plug a new harness into the fuse box and instyall these lights. Is such a factory harness out there? and if so does someone reproduce it?

Thanks!

There is only one wire from the fuse box to the cluster plug for the dash lights. It's a gray 20 gauge wire that runs from the back side of the pnl lts fuse to the cluster plug to terminal 12.

Check for power on the panel lites fuse and for an open wire from the fuse panel to the cluster plug at pin 12 gray wire. Then make sure the cluster is well grounded.

have you checked to see if there are lightbulbs in the lightbulb holders?

have you tried new lightbulbs?

I dont have light bulbs, holders or a harness. was never there to begin with. There are holes in the back of everything for the "upgrade" but seems to have come stock without it.

Its not that it doesnt work, My truck just never had them to begin with. Id like to add them, but didnt know if there was a factory harness I could get with all the bulb sockets that plugs right into the fuse panel.

All you need are the bulbs and sockets. There is a printed circuit on the back of the cluster.
