Another wiring ??
Ok I think this should be the last one. After getting all the wires behind the dash buttoned up on my 67 I find a dangler. I grab my Doc rebuild schematic and find it and it says it is the ignition switch lamp but....I already have a lamp there and this one is smaller and would not fit in the ignition switch housing. I find a diagram here and it says that it is the radio lamp so which is it? Thanks Jim

I have that one that comes out of that part of the harness but my Doc Rebuild schematic says it should be the ignition switch bulb...this says its for the radio but I am not sure if this is for a 67 or other year

Knipps,
That pic is from 65 AC coupe (Lectric Ltd. harness).
The one below shows the grouping with the cig lighter light.
The pdf file covers left end to right end of the dash harness for the 65 AC coupe.

Yes I got the cig light attached it was on the main portion of the harness behind the cluster. What I have is a smaller bulb that comes out with the clock lights and the radio connection and I don't know what it's for. Is there a light for the radio?

Light boss is located in Lower left near the front of the radio as I remember. Not sure you can plug it in without removing the radio.

The radio light is built into the radio and gets its power from the radio connector gray wire.(pic below of a 67 radio)
That light you're asking about is for the heater controls. It's a backlight that uses a torpedo bulb and special clip, along with a green cover for the bulb.
See this thread and a nice photo from JohnZ in post #6.....

I'm curious if the Dr. Rebuild diagram is actually labeled wrong...one of their selling points is that they do an actual circuit check (on a car) of all their wiring depictions..

Disregard. Found it from LI corvette.
Ps. Spoke to Lectric limited at bloomington and it does clip to the clock as some of you suggested. I guess the doc rebuild schematic was wrong. Thanks for the replies. Jim

Would you mind telling which program you are using to tag your wires in the pictures you supplied?
