Default C3 Gauge Cluster Wiring
I swapped out all of the lamps for LEDs. Now I'm putting it all back and I'm confused as to what connector goes where for gauges. Does anyone have the wire colors for temp, oil, ammeter, and water temp gauges?

Thanks!

the colors are written right above the holes for the light bulbs. (for 76 anyway)

The AIM helps. It shows where and how everything plugs up.

Years ago I went to Radio Shack and bought a white plastic connector/plug-jack to allow a 10 minit job of removal/install of my '72 dash panel......I got into the wiring harness and simplified it all, the Molex connector allows one plug for all the lights....course I have an electric tach, so it has it's own plug.....SO 2 plugs, ONE ground connector, and the speedo cable.....6 screws, and drop the steering wheel....

Invest in one of those nice wiring diagrams for your car. It will be the best money you will spend on your car.
