It does not supply the gauge illumination. All of the gauge lights are fed from a single string that originates at the panel light switch. I believe that there may be a connector or 2 in the string but it’s basically 1 wire going to all of the gauges. I seem to remember having one of the connectors pull loose on my reproduction wiring harness and a couple of the gauge lights went out. This could be something to check. The ground is also on a string that connects the gauges but if the gauges are working and the lights don’t it’s probably not the ground. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>If the stabilizer has gone bad, neither the fuel or temp gauge will work. I’ve run across a couple of cars where the DPO has wired the gauges directly to the main 12V source and they wavered with the varying voltage output of the generator. If you need a new voltage stabilizer, let me know as I have a nice solid state replacement for the original bi-metal type.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Hope this helps,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>JVP<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'><img width=170 height=43 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image002.jpg@01D211A9.A5E9BDB0" alt="Veloce_Logo_sm"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>Joseph V.

If you pull the wires off be sure to label where each goes because the color coding of the wires will probably be faded.

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?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='color:black'>Some remote help needed here… at least some advice or comment.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='color:black'>mayf <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>_________________________<br>drmayf<br>Worlds Fastest Sunbeam, period.<br>204.913 mph flying mile<br>210.779 mph exit (not top) speed<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><br><br>_______________________________________________<br><br><a href="mailto:tigers@autox.team.net">tigers@autox.team.net</a><br><br>Donate: <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/archive">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br>Forums: <a href="http://www.team.net/forums">http://www.team.net/forums</a><br>Unsubscribe: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/tigers/coolvt@aol.com">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/tigers/coolvt@aol.com</a><br><br></span><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></blockquote></div></div></body></html>
