Gen 1 Gauge Cluster Wiring Diagram

[93mkviii]

I'm going to wire up the turn signals of the side mirror(gen 2) to the turn signals in the gauge cluster. If someone has the diagrams for the ground and the wire that goes to the signal i'd really appreciate it. Otherwise I will have to test and trial the wires.

Nevermind got it by just looking at the gauge cluster. Thanks anyway.

Are you wiring a relay in as well?

Is there a need for a relay?

 

[Markviiiedrea]

If you are putting an additional load on a circuit that wasn't designed for it I would.

you're lighting what, like 6 extra LEDs? probably not an issue.

Well here is the thing. I wanted to avoid loading the wire before hand so I have already changed the turn signal bulbs to led bulbs which dropped the watts drawn by about 1-2 watts. Seeing that the 6 leds are going to use just about the same maybe even lower I don't think I will be drawing enough power to cause the wire to heat up any more than usual. Therefore I didn't use a relay and spliced it in directly to the gauge light. Plus, the ground for all the lights in the back are going through only one wire. And seeing that I used led in all the spots I should be fine.

Care to share the diagram you found? I wouldn't mind saving it for future reference in case I decide to do this as well

Never got the diagram however.... if you look at the gauge cluster you can tell how it is wired.



This is just what I found online. If you look at the green film it has darker/lighter parts. Just think of the darker parts as wires. You can see the ground(Black wire) goes and makes a connection with each bulb. You can look at the other connection on the bulb and trace it back to the connector to find which wire. I tried my best to draw it in. Hope it helps.
