Green wires on back of dash.

I am wiring electrics on my pick up and all complicated stuff pretty much in order however currently I have lots if green wires all joined together. So need some advice on where these go please. Some are double green wire and I have a green/black wire which is for the fuel gauge but which terminal?

A diagram would be useful

Thanks

Yes I have and from that can you advise me which terminals the green wires go to?

Sorry no, I guess a test meter and lamp would help identifying individual wires. Sorry I cant be of any more help.

For the fuel gauge, try it one way and if it doesn't read right you change the 2 wires round.

Is it a new loom? If not, there could be any old colours added in. BS-AU7 is the UK spec for wiring colours.

Hi Rob

Yes new loom its just the green wires have x2 terminals on petrol gauge plus x4 terminals on the voltage stabiliser

IIRC, the T terminal on the stabiliser goes to the fuel gauge terminal that sits to the passenger (UK) side of the car, the green/black goes to the fuel gauge terminal to the drivers' side, the B terminal of the stabiliser is plain green (12 volts in).

Stab has 4 terminals but they are 2 pairs so only really 2 connections plus 2 spares.

I'd need more data and maybe a photo to tell you more, Russ. I've not worked on a post Series 2 car for many years so things are a bit hazy.
