Instrument Cluster Removal

Their info is all about its output side,, gauge operation and protection. They don't address the input side other than the input voltage range. We'll assume their unit does not sense if the noise cap' is present on the input side or not. It isn't required though.
So... Use what you have on the cap's lead to make the 12 volt input ( with or without a inline fuse ).
Thanks, now I just need to figure out where that red wire was or should be connected. I guess it's time to lay on the floorboard with a flashlight.
all future connections will be soldered unless there is a good reason not to. It's a freakin rats nest under that dash!!!
