1972 Cuda under dash wiring?? - 01/16/15 11:19 PM

HELP!!

I'm about to pop! I cannot seen to locate a idiot proof wiring diagram showing the under dash setup for a standard gauges. If anyone has a good pic I would be eternally grateful.

There are several factory connectors each with 3 female barrel connectors and I cannot determine what is what.. MOST frustrating!

End result I am trying to figure out:
1. why the dash lights are not working.
2. Where to get switched 12v power for a radio.
3 where to get 12v dash light power for additional auto meter gauges.

Thanks y'all!!

I do have a wiring diagram but it is digital and copy protected.
Anyway, dash lights feeds are orange wires. The radio is fed by two wires, the red one feeding the radio and orange again for the dial light. I would get the power for the autometer lights from the orange wires as well so they can dim with the dimmer knob.
There is an orange molded connector that feeds all the dash lights and it normally has an extra socket that takes a bullet connector.
The Yellow molded connector is a 12V accessory feed point.
Red is a battery (unswitched) feed.

In about a week I will be tearing down my '70 Cuda that has a standard setup and can take photos. PM me if this will work for you and I will take some pictures as I tear it down.

Color codes for both are the same. While there are a lot of minor differences, the color codes for all E bodies are the same. Just different gauges, lamps, positions, or even lack of wiring for light package (A01 for example).
