High Beam Indicator

Mine was not working on the '72. Pulled the dash and found what appears to be the correct wire. How is it supposed to be attached to the bulb housing?

It doesn't. It attaches to the main plug and runs current through the printed circuit board.

The large plug that you had to unplug to get that thing out....

O.K. Thanks. I don't see anywhere it would go into the main plug. One of the metal contacts must be missing. Come to think of it, when I pulled the dash out, that wire was attached to the bulb with electricians tape.

All your bulbs appear to be in place in the cluster. Untwist the center one and see if the bulb is bad. I don't know why you would have a loose bulb and socket taped to a wire. That socket is meant to be twisted into the cluster. Sometimes those contacts can get dirty, and the light doesn't work. You can clean them with a pencil eraser.

Thanks. The bulb was bad and I did replace it. I was able to connect the wire to the bulb and the dash is now back in.
