[Tigers] Fw: Panel lights switch questions

[Tony Somebody]

Jim- Im not sure what wiring diagram you are using but I highly recommend
buying the laminated one from CAT. It has Mk1 on one side and Mk1A on the
other. Im thinking about a spare to store under the passenger seat, since its
water proof. It shows the red w/ a white stripe illuminating the gauge lights
thru out the system. It connects to lug 8 not 1. If memory serves that switch
is the only one installed upside down and if your switch is up side down, then
lug 8 would appear to be lug #1. The way to tell what lugs are 1 and 2 and 7
and 8 is use your meter- the two lugs w/ continuity are 1 and 2. 7&8 have no
continuity and that also decides top(1&2) vs bottom (7&8). If memory serves
the gauge light switch was installed from the factory up side down BUT an
original owner with switches in original position would have to confirm that.
My second Mk1A was that way and Im pretty sure no wires or switches had been
changed. Someone who knows for sure want to
 "speak up"concerning the gauge lights switch being opposite of all other
switches????
