Dark Green on every GM I've owned. Should be Pin D4 at the Display; C2 at the Connector (though the latter may be different for an '86). Dark Green/White should be Oil Temp.

CF guys come through again! Thanks SunCr. I found a couple of green wires which weren't connected. Per other threads I read, I grounded them and used the one that caused the readout to show 299 on the temp gauge. You guys rock!

Thanks,


Steve
