Wiring autometer help in late c3(77)
The later c3s( mine is a 77)have a printed circuit board, with one plug that goes into the back of the gauges. My question is this, does anybody know what each individual wire is? I know that I need to jump small 3-inch wires from Gauge to gauge and then go into the original plug. The pink wire is the power source correct? What is the wire that I would use for the lights for each individual gauge? And isn't the fuel gauge kind of its own thing as well?
I'm working with autometer gauges, phantoms. Oil pressure, trans temp, fuel gauge, water temp, voltmeter

The Ohms signal from the fuel level sending unit is TAN.
Oil pressure is DARK BLUE.
Water temp is DARK GREEN.
Volt meter get the PINK wire.

The one in the harmonica connector runs the volt meter.
You should be able to use this lead to power your gauges.
My notes say that the pink with white stripe in that connector is for the seat belt warning.
