1980 corvette wiring problems

[rayman1105]

I recently purchased a 1980 corvette L48. The previous owner must have tried to do some work on the center gauge cluster and in doing so cut and re spliced the wire harness on the cluster. My question is can this plug that plugs into back of gauge cluster be replaced and where can I get one. If not does anyone know which color wires go to which gauges? I'm a newbie to this forum and would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to CAC!!!
enjoy!!!!


OK the best I can offer you is a pic from the '81 service manual,I would guess it would be close,the ONLY difference I know of is your clock/versus my oil temp in the center if you pm me your email I will be most happy to send it to you.....as i look at it i has the clock instead of the oil temp gauge...oh well....:eyerole

I would Strongly advise you to purchase the factory service manual and the assembly instruction manual as these are the bibles to our vettes,the show you how they were built and how to repair them.
you can purchase them from any of the corvette vendors.
