Dash Wiring and Cluster Question - 86 K5 Diesel

![Default](https://blazerforum.com/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I have a 1986 K5 Blazer 4x4 DieselI’m in the process of fixing it up a 1986 K5 Diesel Blazer. I removed the instrument cluster to have it repaired. I have the wiring diagram (http://www.73-87chevytrucks.com/tech...10_30_Only.pdf). I believe I’ve almost figured out where everything goes. Behind the dash there's 5 wired socket and bulb hanging in there. based on the wire diagram i believe i found where they install on the cluster:
· “Glow Plugs” (orange/black, black),
· “Low Coolant” (pink/black, gray),
· “4WD” (white and brown).
· “Water in Fuel” Pink/black, yellow
· black- single wire (I think this goes to the ashtray?).
· All other empty socket locations I intend to install socket w/ bulbs. Correct?
D.A. Alert!
1. I have a wired connection coming out of the cluster (light green female end, 3 wired connector. The wires are green, black, red). Have no idea what this plugs into. Any ideas?
2. Behind the dash there's a 1/2" x 3/8” black female connector (plug) single black wire. No idea what this plugs into. Any Ideas?
3. Behind the dash there’s also a 1/2" x 3/8” white female connector (plug). 3 wired connector. The wires are pink/black, black, yellow. No idea what this plugs into. Any Ideas?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

There Should be plastic labels in the cluster that the light bulbs shine thru. Might put a flash light behind and light them up to see which indicator goes in what socket.
The single black wire...does it have a female spade terminal inside? A rectangular housing? Those tend to go on male spade terminals on switches or spade terminals on the fuse block.Could also be a spare.

I believe I've determined where the sock and bulbs go on the cluster. Yes I shined a flashlight and determined what went where. The single black wire with rectangular housing has a male spade terminal inside.
