I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

Short wires/leads are often not included with a reproduction harness (but extra lengths of wires of different gauges are sometimes included). Light switch The fuel gauge hot lead comes from ignition switch. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 1,644 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 1,644 | The gas gauge is fed from the ing. switch when you turn on the ign. switch it feeds power to the gauge
the dash lites are fed from the head lite switch thru the dimmer circuit when you pull the switch out to the frist indent the lites should come on some switches you'll need to hook up a dash lite HOT to that circuit on the head lite switch.
