82 oil pressure gauge connections help needed

[RSBob]

Tried search with no luck, the schematics here are not detailed enough and no Bentley or Mercedes.

I pulled the gauge to insert a numerical overlay on the temp side and noted the wiring connections the best possible while tilting the gauge forward. Have all the connections on the temp side, but on the pressure (the virtually worthless) side, I have 3 wires needing a home on this set of connection -> |_| Looking at the back, I believe the left post takes a light green with red stripe. The bottom horizontal takes the ground. The inner right takes the double red with black stripe. The gauge back has no + or G to help.

Can one of the brain trust please pull their gauge out a little, or read a better schematic and tell me what goes where?

Rick,

I have noted the wiring connections for the pressure gauge but forgot to write the connections for the temp.gauge.





If you look closely on the yellow masking tape on the left of the picture, that's the pressure gauge terminals:

Outer left pin.........green/red
Inner right pin........red/black
Bottom pin.............brown

What do you have for the temp. gauge terminals? Thanks.

Tony, thanks for the reply. Very much appreciated. Electrical fires are the worst and carelessness with a bulb holder resulted in several hours of splicing.

For the temp side. |-|. Top: two grounds. Left/outside: green/black. Right/inside: 3 red/black
