This is one page of a factory-style Ford wiring schematic set covering the instrument cluster warning lamp circuits. The schematic (grid rows A–F) shows the ignition switch with its positions (S-Start, R-Run, 0-Off, A-Accy) and connector C-412, feeding the dual brake warning indicator lamp and oil pressure warning indicator lamp on the printed circuit, through the dual brake warning switch (via connectors C-306/C-307, circuit 977 P-W) and the oil pressure switch (via C-220/C-309, circuit 31 W-R). Numerous circuit numbers with wire colors are labeled, including 526 BK-W, 297 BK-GR, 16 R-GR, 32 R-BL, 732 W, 904 GR-R, 640 R-Y, 181 0, and 21 Y, plus splices S-401 and S-504. The note "WITHOUT GAGES" applies to part of the diagram. The lower portion contains connector pinout drawings: C-208 (14401, gray, rear of instrument cluster, printed circuit without gauges) with 15 circuit/color entries; C-208A (14401, gray, rear of instrument cluster, printed circuit with gauges); C-212 (engine compartment, center of dash panel); C-220 (engine compartment near dash, 14289); and C-306 (L.H. fender apron, 14405) with its wire list. Useful for tracing cluster wiring, connector pin colors, and warning lamp circuits.
