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.

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.
