    Gauge Cluster: I don't know where one wire goes

    My #12 fuse blew and the radio, computer, and speedometer won't work. I removed the radio and computer and still it was no good. So now we get to the gauge cluster. I found the one wire was not plugged in.

    Its the small wire with to female holes. I'm assuming it plugs into the bottom section under the speedometer but there are several options. Which one is correct? I can't find a pictures in my Bentley manual either. Help me please

        This SUCKS!!!!!!!! Everything I read it just says "make sure you remember how the wires came off for when you have to put them back".........so what if they were already off!!

                      its for the cruise control, plug it into any of those green connectors (it will fit 3 connectors which are all the same, right side of that picture)

                        Any of the three? Then why are there three of them?

                        Is there anything else that I'm missing that should go in some of those other holes?? Seems odd.

                              it means it is a "gang" plug like a common ground sort of. all the connectors terminate at the same place
