The instruments and controls are mounted in a control panel assembly which is bolted to the instrument panel. The control panel assembly can be removed from the instrument panel in a single unit with all controls, instruments and accessories attached to the panel, however it is not necessary to remove the complete panel to service individual units. (Fig. 12-101) All the instruments are electrically operated, except the speedometer and Jetaway indicator, which are mechanically operated. The generator, temperature and oil pressure indicators use colored lights to warn the driver of conditions other than normal when the engine is operating at speeds above idle, or when the engine is operating at normal operating temperature. The lamp sockets used in the printed circuit board can be removed by turning the socket 1/8 of a turn counterclockwise. The lamp bulb can then be removed from the socket by simply pulling the bulb straight out of the socket. The instruments and lamps are of the printed circuit type and they are connected to the chassis wiring harness by a multiple connector plug on the printed circuit board. |
