[Tigers] missing Instrument Stabilizer

[Jim]

Jim,
CAT supplies a laminated wiring diagram of the dash for the Tiger.  The VS
is shown.  If you are not a member, it is a good idea to join, that being
said, send me an off-line e-mail and I can try to scan it for you. Oops, CAT
has a copyright of the diagram, so no copy.  The VS is shown with wiring
color but not how to connect.  You should be able to figure this out fairly
easily since the wire colors are clearly labeled.  Ground and LGG and G are
the colors.  The ground is provided by the mounting screw/bolt, so be aware
of this.  The LGG is light green and green and the second wire is only G for
green.  You can find the feeds from the harness to the instruments,
specifically the fuel and temp gauges, there should be an LGG wire on each
of these.

Subject: [Tigers] missing Instrument Stabilizer

Hello,
 
After spending 5 hours over three evenings under the dashboard, I have  
found there is no, I repeat, no instrument stabilizer in my car. It appears 
that  the gauges (fuel and temp) were wired to 12 volts instead of the 10
from 
the  I.S.
 
Tod Brown sent me pictures so I could identify it but no luck. Now  he is 
sending me one from his stash.
 
Now, exactly how do I hook up the I.S.? I repeat, there is not one on the  
car though there are some strange yellow wires rolling around. Where  did 
the original wires hook up to electrically and physically. What were the
wire 
colors? Does it wire back to the fuse block or pick up under the  dash?  
The shop manual is no help here. It simply notes that the  I.S. is behind
the 
dash and that's it. 
 
I've had the car for 36 years. This could have happened at a number of  
shops I've done business with, but my guess is that it was early in its
life
 
Only you fellows will know this stuff. This data is gone from  print.. 
 
Please help.
