Models With Tachometer

With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied:
^ through 10 A fuse (No. (12) ,located in the fuse block [J/B])
^ to combination meter terminal (41) for the water temperature gauge,
^ to combination meter terminal (22) for the tachometer and speedometer
^ to combination meter terminal (10) for the fuel gauge.
Ground is supplied:
^ to combination meter terminal (28)
^ through body grounds (M43), (M44) and (M60).

The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the fuel tank.
The fuel gauge is regulated by a variable ground signal supplied:
^ to combination meter terminal (14) for the fuel gauge
^ from terminal (3) of the fuel tank gauge unit
^ through terminal (2) of the fuel tank gauge unit
^ through body grounds (B14) and (B17).

Models Without Tachometer
