1978 Center Console Light
Does anyone have a diagram of the Center Console Light Unit for a 1978? I replaced the the upper light bulb housing but there was nothing to complete the circuit from the bulb to the two wires connected to the housing. I think I am missing a part. Thanks for your help.

Speaking of console lights- my 78 does not have any lighting at the heater controls or the shifter.
Are there lights for those areas? I did not see any loose wires or empty light sockets when I was fixing the heater selector assembly.

See the socket sitting at the bottom of the pic ? The brass ears make contact when the socket is in place.

Sorry don't mean to barge in, but Roger do you have the info for that light. Mine had a standard bulb that wasn't working. I changed it and still doesn't work. Should the light turn on anyway? Or does this only work with that light? Thanks.

edit- The light turns with the other dash lights. Check the gray wire for 12v when the lights are on and the black wire for ground.
