Re: [Chevelle-list] wiring question

I had a hell of a time with the dash in my 70. Must have pulled it out and put 
it back in 6 times. Make sure that you have the three black ground wires hooked 
up. One goes to a screw on the cluster, one to the metal frame of the dash 
carrier and one to the e-brake. Also did you put the ground strap back in under 
the light switch?

 

My problem turned out to be the headlight switch. Power to the cluster passes 
through this switch. One of the spades slipped out aside the connector and was 
not making contact. Here is the topic on chevelles.com. It has some great pics 
and information to diagnose the headlight switch. It also includes information 
on the 12 pin connector and tests to verify voltage at the fusebox.

I set my restored dash in place and connected the wires, turned the key to 
acess. and my temp. fuel, and amp guages did nothing. Should there be a voltage 
at the 12 point plug for each of these three guages. My dash lights work. Turn 
signals work. brake lights. All the lights are working. Iam stumped. Any 
ideas,Thanks. Frustrated.
