Page: 20 / 45

7.8.6 Install the #735 (red/wht) wire of the voltmeter to the driver’s side terminal and
the blk wire to the passengers side terminal of the voltmeter and secure with
nuts.
7.8.7 Install the #722 (lt.blu/blk) oil gauge wire to the terminal of the oil gauge and
secure with nuts. Re-install the dash cluster assembly.
7.9 Brake Light Switch
7.9.1 Connect ENGINE SECTION A wires #717 (orn) and #718 (wht) to the Brake
Light Switch wherever it may be mounted.
7.9.2 The Third Brake Light wire is pre-connected on the Switch end. Connect TAIL
SECTION wire #750 (orn) to the Third Brake Light if applicable.
7.10 Tail Section Wiring
7.10.1 Connect the wires of the TAIL and TURN SIGNAL SECTIONS as indicated in
Table 12-1 with the exception of #718 (wht), #748 (grn), #749 (ylw) and
#750 (orn).
7.10.1 These 4 wires will be connected according to one of the diagrams shown in
Diagram 3. Which diagram you will use depends on whether or not you have
one bulb on each side of the vehicle that is for the brake and Turn Signal Lights
(this is referred to as integrated lights) or you have more than one bulb on
each side and the Brake and Turn Signal Lights are hooked to different bulbs
(referred to as separate Brake/Turn Lights).
Note A: If you have Integrated Brake Lights you must use bulbs that have two
(2) filaments in them such as in an 1157 bulb.
Note B: The three wires shown in these diagrams are connected to the "brighter"
of the two filaments when using a two-filament bulb (the Tail Lights are
usually connected to the "Dimmer" filament). The Tail Lights, License
Plate Lights, Reverse Lights, etc. are not shown on the diagrams for
clarity.
Note C: In the separate Brake Light diagram the arrangement shown is only one
of several ways to wire a vehicle. The important thing is that the Brake
and Turn Signal Lights use completely separate bulbs.
7.11 Helpful Hints for Tail Section Wiring
7.11.1 When you have Integrated Brake Lights on your vehicle the Turn Signal switch
acts as a brain to control when the Lights in the rear are on constantly (braking)
or flashing (turning) or a combination of both. The Turn Signal switch you
use must be built to do this! If you are using a steering column out of a
salvage yard that was originally in a vehicle that had Separate Brake
Lights then the switch will not work for Integrated Brake Lights.
7.11.2 Almost all light bulbs get the ground they need through the socket housing. If
you mount your socket housing into anything other than a grounded metal part
then you will need to provide a separate ground wire.
