Instrument panel plug orientation
« on: December 27, 2020, 08:20:09 AM »
I am installing the instrument panel in the car and I don't know the correct way to connect the main electrical plug?  The plug has numbers 1-10 on one side and 11-20 on the other side. When looking at the panel from the back, are the numbers 1-10 orientated on the LHS or the RHS of the plug connection.

Sometimes its the simple things which are the hardest.....

The dash connector plug is an 18 pin connector, 9 positions on each side.  It is keyed so it can only go in one way.

Thanks on both accounts!!! I don't know how I missed the differences in the plug ends and I'll blame it on too much Christmas celebrations.
