QuestionI am trying to put in aftermarket gauges into a MG dash. Somebody had already taken it apart, and I'm attempting to put it back together. The manual that the owner of the car had doesn't have correct wire colors. I need to get the diagrams for the Tach, Coolant Temp Gauge, Fuel Gauge and switches for the dash panel.
AnswerHi Bill
Every gauge has illumination (Red with a stripe, either white or green)
Every gauge needs an earth - plain black ring terminal attached to a holding stud.
Tacho has a green power line and a white/black signal line. Signal line has a bullet connector.
Temp gauge - I think this is mechanical - no wires.
Fuel gauge has Light green/Green power and Green/Black signal. Connect either way round.
Light Switch: Brown power, red to sidelights, blue to headlights.
Will that do? Ask if you need more.
