1977 C3 Center Console Bulb Sockets
Currently replacing the bulbs in the center console and tach and speedo. Several of the sockets in the center console were missing. Got the replacement sockets (Dorman) and they fit fine except one location - the extreme lower right socket hole - as you look at the center console circuit board. What is interesting is that this is the only socket hole that does not have 2 indents - like the other holes - this one is just round. Anyone know which bulb socket goes here? Thanks

sockets
hello,
i just looked at the willcox site. in the "tech pictures" section, looking at "temp gauge" you'll see a photo showing the back of a 77 instrument cluster. it show that the hole in question should have 2 cutouts for the socket tabs. should take the regular socket, i had to replace a few in my 79 also.
maybe take a peek under the printed circuit at that location?
