Does anybody have a center console wiring diagram for the H/O? Cant remeber how the harness goes back together. Got the console lid switch and bulb but there is also another light socket and I can't remember where it goes. Thanks

That 2nd light socket wasn't used with Lighting Rods. It was for the floor shift indicator lighting. Bulb removed and wrapped up out of the way. LR's did not have the indicator except for what was printed on the top plate. No way to light it up. So they used the tach indicator pointer deal for regular column shift so drivers could see the gear selection at night.

Perfect, that's what I thought but I was 100% sure. Thanks!
