1990 740 GL (Regina, though I don't think that matters here.) Race car so electrical system stripped to basic functions.
I cut a lot of wires to the dashboard, since I didn't think I would use it. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't work when I plug in what's left.
The ONLY things I need working are temp sensor and gas gauge, tach would be nice but not necessary.
I am wondering what I need to reconnect to get those gauges working. The wires for those functions are OK, but I get no life at all from the gauges.
Looking at the diagram below, am I correct in reading that all three of my favorite gauges get 12v from the connection to the high-beam indicator light? So if I get 12v to A8, and B4/B7 (for temp,) C6/B1 (fuel,) and the tach cables, should I expect those to work, or am I missing something?
Unfortunately I discarded the 8-pin A block when I was cutting things, so I will be posting to wanted for that if this thread returns results.
