Gauge Cluster Wiring… Help?

[Coug]

24V nominal = 28V when running
so those are the correct bulbs to use.

a little wire brushing, and a little dielectric grease, and they would be good to go.
You'll definitely need to clean up inside the sockets.

Jokes on me. The contacts look pretty corroded. Also it states that they are 28v lights. I assume that they dont draw enough from a 24v setup through the 40x wires to fully eluminate. Instead of cleaning these, I will just clean the sockets and wait for the fed lights that I ordered.View attachment 845137View attachment 845138

I think the fed bulbs are better for our setup because they have light in every direction. I had corrosion also but not that bad on bulbs and more socket. At least you know

Looks nice, i wanted orange like old toyota trucks because it is easy on the eyes but since the speedo is green, i got the green bulbs.

So you ordered new green bulbs or you are going to order new bulbs?

Already ordered. They were 11$ shipped if I remembered. Had I known you had an extra set, I woulda asked you. Lol. But I posted this thread after I already ordered them. Im sure there may be others that saw this thread that could use an upgrade. No use on them going to waste.

I was going to give them to you. I ordered and usps lost my order and federal sent replacements and I got all of them finally and I asked if they wanted me to send them back and he said no keep them for spares. I was going to pay it forward!

Well HmmwvTim ,

It definitely looks like the creeping crud has attacked your dash for sure. Makes you wonder how much time the truck spent without a top in the rain. The steel sockets and the steel bulb bases seem to grow without any dielectric on them.

At least you found the problem!

So i washed it out with a qtip and some Vaseline. Didn’t have any dielectric grease on me. It cleaned out real well. Looked new in the socket. The bulbs also wiped of and looks new. So when I plugged them in I noticed that the light gets a lot brighter when I have one out. Still not bright enough though.

When I installed the speedo harness, there was a 40x wire that was supposed to be tied into one of the 40 wires for this light. The harness came with a y splitter for the 40 and 27 wires. I noticed that I didn’t need the splitter for the 27 because there was enough plugs. 1 too many even.

Do we know if the same voltage goes through the 27 wires as the 40?

If so, I can use that extra wire and get rid of the 40 y splitter, plus the other dash lights will have more current to eliminate better.

 

[HmmwvTim]

Thank goodness FMP sent me 3 bulbs. I dropped one in the dash cluster. They are brighter, but not as bright as ive seen in other peoples photos.
If i can know the voltage for thr 27x wires and the 40x wires are the same before I take the cluster apart to retrieve the bulb, it would be nice.

 

[HmmwvTim]

wait. That wont work. The 27x wires are always on vs the cluster wires activated by light switch. I wonder what that extra 27x wire is for? It looks like it was used. Anyone know what should be plugged into an ecv’s cluster Usint the 27 wire?

Don’t know nothing about 27 but 4 screws and it comes right out really easy. It’s open from underneath also but no reason as simple as it is to remove

What is the letter after 27 on your "extra" wire?

The wiring diagrams are in the very end of TM 9-2320-387-24-2. Like around page 3000.

27c circuit breaker
27g to temp gauge
27h to oil pressure gauge
27j to fuel gauge
27k ? windshield wiper motor
27L to brake warning lamp
27p to another intersection
29d to circuit breaker
29r to ste/ice frequency converter, resistor, and trand relay
511b to t/c lock switch
587a to voltmeter

Maybe but it fell between the ground plate and the bezel. I don't remember if there was a gap at the bottom or not between the 2.

update. got it out. Had to shake it back through the hole.

I would have to look but i think it was 27m

Another part of the TM shows
27 c, 27d, 27k to the circuit breakers
27d to blower switch
27f to wait light

Starting at section 27-3 of the above TM lists every connection of the body wiring harness and where it goes. It starts about page 2204.

 

[HmmwvTim]

27M for sure.

i have the speedo harness plugged into 27N
They are comming from this braded wire batch Along with 57L which looks like a ground So I put it on the ground plate.


i have a dummy plug on it now that I pulled from one of the aux plugs by the windshield wiper knob, since it is tucked up in the dash. Don’t want any shorts going on in there.

Why are we chasing the 27 wires? I too behind the dash.

40 x wires are to the two dash lamps and down to the shifter led. HI-LO voltage depending on load and dimmer position from the light switch.
27 x feeds all the gauges, from the RUN breaker. Battery voltage when in RUN. 24-28

Don't know the M1165, MY GUESS and could be WAAYYY wrong,. Split one of the 40 wires and feed the speedo LIGHT. Split again a 27 x and feed the power to the speedo. Thinking this only because this is an add on the to harness? Now if the M1165 came with an M1165 harness with speedo...SKIP this dim idea and proceed. In the dark, Me bad.

What's going on... err off, CAMO

In the instrument cluster replacement section of the TM, it shows 57L having a female rubber boot and connecting to the high beam indicator lamp.
27w to one of the gauges

the speedo harness has 3 ground wires and 2 other leads. Each of those other leads hooks to a "Y". The 2 remaining leads on a Y hook up to 2 wires that were pulled apart. If you have one of those loose, you need to find the wire it hooks to.

ME stayed after school... CAMO

Found the drawing, Now I know why they call it a gauge cluster, CAMO

I updated the title since it spun off into something else and my dim issue is because the engine is not running (i assume).
