I'm slowly getting the dash and console back together on the Yellow Peril.
Most of the stuff works now. But I seem to have misplaced the wire that
goes across to feed power to the panel light dimmer rheostat.
Before I run another one across, can anyone tell me what this wire looks like,
what color it is and where it comes out from?
The dash light wires are mostly gray and I finally got them routed correctly after
several false starts, but I am not finding a wire that is hot only when the lights are on.
BTW when I hooked up the battery and turned on the switch, there was NO blinding flash
or zapping or sizzling sounds!
As soon as I get power to the dimmer rheostat I can go ahead and put the console on,
then I can start with the glove compartment and instrument panel.
(Yeah, I know I've been slow but there has been a lot going on!)
