ANYONE HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH MOPAR PLUS INTERIOR REPLACEMENT PARTS????
I saved a few bucks othet places like Classic Industries by ordering my replacement dash bezel for the 67 Barracuda from MOPAR Plus.
But, now, I'm not sure about the quality.
Installing the new bezel cause a few scratches...
Finished up today; a;though there are alway other small problem encountered or created by what you just fixed.
(Iwill not elaborate on them at this time.)
Got the dash all put back together today.
For me, the speedo cable was easy to remove with the instrument cluster and bezel just leaning...
Even my "old switch" has that ground spade.
I bought a new switch that looks the same, because I didn't feel that the dimming function was working well.
But even after a hour of playing with the knob and prong button while watching TV, I never could get the knob in.
So just went back to the old...
NO!
Even the factory schematic does not show a ground prong on the headlight switch.
Since Chrysler stopped putting a wire there, I think they chose to leave it off the schematic.
It was a supplemental cluster ground in the earlier models.
See the Forum thread link that I posted twice.
Yup!
You are correct! It is the fuse block.
I keep thinking in a single dimension when I am looking from above; instead of looking from below to get perspective.
From that historical thread that I posted, I'm certain that is was just a hanging loose ground wire for the headlight switch.
Thus...
No, I'm pretty sure it was the wire I disconnected from the bottom of the headlight switch.
So, someone just used a yellow wire, because that is what color wire they had.
So, I am about to finish reinstalling the new dash Bezel on my 1967 Plymouth Barracuda.
I have become very aware that Chrysler engineers were probbaly paid to shorten every cable and wire that they could behind the dash in order to save money.
THAT...is the only thing that makes the job...
Thanks 4Speed!
But mine looks a shade different.
I think that I figured it out by looking at the backside of the cluster itself.
There is a ridge to grove orientation at the top of the connector.
On my cluster there are 5 pins together at the bottom; 2 at the top clockwise, a space, then one by...
So, I am currently encountering the joys of replacing my instrument cluster bezel in my 67 Plymouth Barracuda.
I've been very careful to label everything and followed a "How To" Sticky on the process.
But, my middle name is "Murphy", after Murphy's Law.
I bought a new Bezel for just under $700...
WOW!!!!
I've dodged a small bullet!
My cluster already had LEDS installed.
The new bulbs that I got are no brighter.
So, I am leaving well enough alone.
But, when done, I will post pictures of the gague faces.....black before....and white face after.
I have already touched up the the hot orange...
Yup!
I'm lazy, and not good at deciphering electrical diagrams.
*But I am rehabbing the instrument cluster, gauge faces, and lights while I am installing a new Dash Bezel.
Below is a picture of the back of my instrument cluster.
TO BE SURE LED POLARITY IS CORRECT....WHERE WOULD I CONNECT THE...
