Dash lights have a daisy chain ground wire.   I have a problem with the
panel light switch not always working so I leave it in the ON position so
the dash lights turn on with the Light switch.

 

Light switch is powered from B post of the generator voltage regulator.
Your headlights work so that switch is working.  There is a Red wire from
Light switch to Panel switch, then a Red/White wire to dash lights - those
need to be checked.

Ok, I am replacing and adding a couple of dash switches to my car.  The
pieces I need are the chrome screw on switch bezel for use on the wood dash.
Is there a source for such?  I have the switches but sadly they do not come
with them.  

 

And I am having the dickens of a time with the instruments: mostly with the
dash lights. I know grounds are the typical source or cause of the problems
and I have been attacking that as best I can.  Also there does not seem to
be power to that circuit, even when I turn the lights on and the panel
switch as well.  I replaced the fuse block and that did help. More voltage.
Was pretty corroded. New one has a spiffy cover and I applied dielectric
grease as well.  The wipers work, the horn honks the heater motor runs, have
oil pressure, but no dash light or fuel level or temp. Also purchased a
brake light switch as well. Turn signals work as does the green indicator
light on the dash. Head lights ( high and low beams), turn signals and stop
light all work. Part of the issue is size 100 hands (big) in a size 3 under
dash.  So I am going to keep after it.  Was there an wiring change in the
MK1 production run? The wiring on my gas and temp gages does not look like
the schematic.  If I look at the back side of the fuel gage and temp gage
what wire goes where?

 

Some remote help needed here. at least some advice or comment.
