Volt Gauge Light socket...Pic needed...

[Asmoday]

Does anyone happen to have a pic of the socket guts for the Volt gauge?

As I was tracing down non-functioning dash lights today I discovered that the grey wire for the Volt gauge light socket was ripped out of the back of the plastic socket and the wire was hanging down behind the dash taped up. The black wire is still intact in the socket.

The bulb was still in the socket with the spring. I would like to see a pic of the grey wire intact inside the socket so I can source the right metal contact piece and fix the socket...

Thanks!

Just do a test with multimeter on your broken wire and then look inside of socket with bulb out

I already know the wiring. I need a pic of the contact piece on the end of the grey wire that contacts the center of the installed bulb.

I have the same grey wire hanging out of the dash. I haven't looked into fixing it yet. Too many other more important items.

I had the same issue and I couldn't save the socket so I simply replaced the socket with a soft plastic one that takes a 193 "peanut" bulb, just a few seconds on the bench grinder to remove the flap and made it a push fit. Sockets are available at any auto store or just cut one off some unused harness, it's the socket used in the front side marker.
