Default Wires, wires, wires

Help me please. I have a 1969 coupe 350/350. My dash lights do not work. I have a heavy guage orange with a black strip down it, that goes to the relay under the console. The other end is an ilet and I can not remember where it goes. It is in the orginal harness that connects to the auto windows. Please someone help.

Your dash lights are powered by the gray wires. You might have a bad ground or a blown fuse or a bad switch. Recommend you get a good full color wiring diagramfrom one of our members.

The other approach is to copy the wiring page from the GM manual and highlight the wires of the circuit of interest, in this case the dash lights.
