Please help reading the schematic!

Looking at the schematic for the gauge cluster, specifically at the bulbs so I can replace them.

21 & 22 are listed as different - 12v/1.7w and 12v/3w, respectively. But they only show those first two, not what the rest should be along the side. And they don't list the specs on the three large bulbs at all!

Any ideas?

Hi,

Try the parts fiche at www.alpha-sports.com. I found this information:

21: 09471-12100 Bulb 12v,1.7w qty=1
22: 09471-12085 Bulb 12v,3w qty=8
23: 09471-12082 Bulb 12v,3.4w qty=3

Let's see if this link works:

So it seems that #23 gets used in the Oil, Neutral, and Turn Signal spots.
#21 is used only in that single socket.
#22 is used everywhere else.

Does that sound reasonable?


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

That will definitely help, I couldn't find anything to tell me the specs on 23.

That said, those bulbs actually illuminate the speedo and tach, not the oil, neutral and turn signal indicators. Those three are along the side and are illuminated by #22 bulbs. Interesting.

Any idea where I can find these? Autozone doesn't have 'em.

from what I have read,

#194 or #158 (miniture w/wedge base) is close enough. (OEM 12v/3.4w is hard to find.)

 

[UncleMike]

#194 or #158?

 

[BassCliff]

#194 or #158?

Either.

#158 bulb = 14v, .24 amp (3.3w)
#194 bulb = 14v, .27 amp (3.8w)

Thanks, bud. I had no idea bulbs were numbered like that.

 

[UncleMike]

from what I have read,

Forgot to say thanks to you as well!

I wonder why they'd have a lower-wattage bulb for the High Beam indicator.

 

[Guest]

maybee the high beam wattage + high beam indicator wattage would have been close to being too much for the circuit or something?

Or perhaps since it's the only indicator that would remain on for a long period of time, they want to make sure it's not distracting by being too bright?
