Dash panel wiring question

[62bagger]

Does anyone know where I can find a wiring diagram for the 62 dash panel with gauges? I have two harness's but they have both been rewired and adapted over the years. I guess black wire was cheaper than the other colors. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks for the help. This looks like what I need to get this gauge panel figured out.

We have an electrical section and in it there are posts showing our wiring diagrams - Post #8 on in this thread as an example - https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=378484

Thanks RocknRod, I did see that one however I was looking for one that was specific to the dash panel. Since electrics are not my specialty I wanted only the piece I am working on. Also I was noticed that diagram only has one turn signal indicator and I was expecting two. I didn't know that the 62 dash only had one. I am wondering if I can separate the light and dark blue wires to accomplish this.

Yes, 62 & 63 originally had just one turn signal indicator that would flash for either side. They accomplished that by connecting the light blue wire to one side of the bulb and the dark blue to the other, with the bulb mounted in a plastic socket isolated from ground. The inactive side would provide the ground path for the active side.

And yes, you can easily separate them like 60-61 or 64-66. Those years have the light & dark blue wires each running to one side of their own bulb. And the other side of those bulbs is connected to ground via sockets with metal housings snapped into the metal instrument cluster case.
