ok so ive cut the wires that connect from my fuel guage ect in the back of the dash ive re connected most wires but ive run into a few problems

1. i have one spare wire that i have no idea what it connects to its just plain green the only plain green wire there what dose it connect to

2.on one side of the wiring there are two green wires with white stripes and and on the other side there is two but only one conects to the pin holder thing that plugs into the dash the other is connected by a crimp sort of thing with a black wire on the other end

dose what i asked make sense

please help as i have no idea

is theere anywhere i can get a diagram or somthing or some one around my area that can lend a hand will pay a little for some help if u know what ur doing its probably very simple.im located in laidley qld its out of ipswich a lil

what sort of car do you have? then you can search for a wiring diagram that may give you the breakdown on each coloured wire.

lol cant belive i didnt put that its a 1973 180b

so any ideas a diagram for a diffrent moddel datsun says to connect the green wire to the yellow with green wire like splice it in.

but still no idea about the .2 and what the wire connects to as i dont see the pourpose in the spade connector its using

and i cant find a diagram at all

i'd go running to one of these...

maybe someone on here has one and can scan/email to you.

According to one of my books there are two green/white cables that go to "knob illumination lamp on SSS models only".

There is also two cables 1x green/white and 1x Black that go to the "adjustment control illumination" pot.

The only solid green cables in that area i could find go from the turn signal flasher unit to the blue junction block connector, or from the hazards sw connector to the blue junction block connector...

ok cheers mate ill have a poke around still not completly understanding where i have to put them but ill have a go haha

ok so ive found out about the green wire was my stupidity that i didnt realise where it went

now i just need to figure out about this black wire with the spade connection to the green wire with a white stripe that isnt connected to anything

ive made a diagram its really bad no critisim needed but it gives the genral problem ive run into


using both pictures you will see what my problem is

There should be a complete wiring diagram in the back of the workshop manual. are you trying to install a sss dash?? why did you cut the wires? and are you just trying to rejoin the wires that you cut?

The black wire from the dash connecor goes to earth on the body with a lug and also connects back to the battery -'ve via the green junction block connector.
The other two black wires in your last attachment could possibly all join together in that case as quite a few things have this 'negative' cable going to it e.g. glove box light sw, cig lighter and wiper switch etc .

The second pic has me stumped atm...

ok so one of the two black wires goes to the back of the dash to the clock im just assuming its an earth so then that leaves the two black wires to go together would the green green/white wire just splice into the two black wires id assume it would

in the second pic the green/white wire has a connection i know where it goes its just the black end im stumped with im assuming it just goes to the black to black connection?

hay guys till stuck on this some insight would be amazing my low beams wont seem to work when i use the blinker my front left parker light flashes insted of the blinker.

Likely to be an earth issue. Re-check (or even re-make) the earth connection on the bumper.
