I just got done taking apart the console in my 69 and replacing all the bulbs and lenses. Problem is when i put it back together my fuel gauge and water temp gauge no longer works. I'm pretty sure I just put it back together wrong or missed a wire as no fuses are blown and the other gauges work fine.

Does anyone have a photo of the back of an assembled center gauge cluster? Or can someone tell me where to see a wiring diagram or what I may have missed.

Thanks

Here's a partial diagram of those gauges. Hope it helps.
You may have left a ground for the cluster loose, also...

Got everything that you need in pictures same thing happened to me. So when I got one from a guy that parts out C3's to use to compare mine with. I took lots of pictures.

When do you need them is this a tomorrow project or after Christmas?

Hope this helps Note mine is a 82 CE so the tape is to keep the power to the clock from shorting. The big problem I had was shorting out the gage posts. Some are insulated others are not.
