connection for the instrument cluster voltage regulator location

my dash looks like this.
i am trying to connect my new harness.

where is the connection for the instrument cluster voltage regulator located?






does anyone have a photo of the back of this cluster and/or a description of where it is?

 

I cannot help you with where and how to connect but here are some pics I saved to my library. I think the one labeled is for a later, maybe 69-75isg CJ5 but may serve as some reference.

 

there IS NO voltage regulator ?!?!?
i dont see one in your photo.
with my new harness.
i have 1 white wire that needs to connect to a voltage regulator

 

Pics from the site below I saved in my "library." I think he may be a member here.

Upon further examination of that photo you are correct. Sorry. Must have been removed on later era at some point. Someone should chime in shortly.

 

The second posting should help with the rest. A couple good write-ups on his page.

 

OK this link should help you if I understand your needs right. CJ3B but essentially same setup.

edit: Dangit. It is for converting to an altenator. Might be of use anyway.

 

There are wiring diagrams in the technical library.

your jeep has been converted to a delco 1 wire alt. . so you wont have a voltage regulator the small white wire off of the alt. will hook into a purple wire on your intrument cluster

 

did you look at my engine photo?
how did you know that?
i dont even know that!

 

Which voltage regulator are you looking for? There is one that is built in on the inside of the fuel gauge (can't see it) and also one inside the alternator (can't see it) if you are using the late model type alternators.

 

The voltage regulator for the gauges inside the speedometer is part of the fuel gauge. That is why there is that jumper that hooks the 2 gauges together.

 

my white wire is coming from the harness.
there is a fat red wire that connects to the battery.

 

this is from the ad that i answered to buy the jeep.
this is all i know.
has new coil, water pump, exaust manifold gasket, battery, alternator and conversion from generator to 12SI alternator.

 

It looks to me like you would connect your white wire to the terminal marked "Fuel Gauge Ignition Feed Wire (RED)" in Kevin's picture. This is the input to the internal voltage regulator in the fuel gauge. This was originally fed directly from the ignition switch, but it looks like your new harness fuses this (as it should).

The heavy jumper from this gauge feeds regulated voltage (5 volts, I think) to the temp gauge.

 

Maybe not a separate fuse, since I don't see a fuse indicated for this.

 

is this the answer?

I imagine you're asking for corroboration from someone else, but let me clarify my point.

You need to correlate this with what you actually have. If your speedometer looks like this, and the fuel gauge has three terminals, and one of them is connected to the fuel sender and another is jumpered to the temp gauge, then the remaining terminal on the fuel gauge should have been connected to the ignition switch. This last terminal is the one you need to connect to the white wire in your new harness.

If your speedo doesn't look like this, or something else doesn't seem to fit, give us some pics and we'll see if we can help sort it out.

 

well yes.
i got what seems like a few different answers along with pics that seem to prove there ISNT a voltage regulator at all.
along with fuses that may or may not exist.
so i am trying to get this clear in my head before i drive over to the shop and get confused again.:?R)
this reminds me of when i spent 3 hours looking for a fusebox.


thanks for all the help once again.
you guys rock!
