    Escort 6 dial dash wiring

    Hello all, does anyone know what wires do what on the rear of a 6 dial dash in a mk1 escort? Reason being that I have one in mine and the temp gauge in the dash does not work but the car has an extra temp gauge that does.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Guess the dash isnt plugged into the sender then if the aux gauge is?? Look at the sender in the head on the rhs just under the thermostat housing (presuming its a xflow) and see whats connected and then look for the ford wire in that area around the battery tray where the loom is

    Off the top of my head, I think the original wire's either red/white or red/black.

    This is for the later type of wiring with the 7 fuse box

    And the earlier type fuse box. 42 is the oil pressure guage, you can then work out the others.
