Where do I find the power wire to light the quadrant light to tell me what gear I am in at night. I have a hydra matic trany. For our 54 Hornet Hollywood. Hudsonly Ray

  • Ray, The wire for that quadrant lighting is a # 51 bulb that should be found by unscrewing the cap on the die cast hydramatic indicator housing that attaches to the steering column. The bulb has a long wire going through the shifter selector rod coming out of the bottom of the rod near the neutral safety switch. This attaches to the red wire on the harness.
  • Thanks Hudzila Where does the red wire come from and where would it be hooked to to give power to bulb. The harness in engine compartment was a mess so it is hard to find. Ray
  • Ray, OK well look where the neutral safety switch is located. That part of the harness is where two wires go to the two studs on the switch. There should be a female connector on a third wire near where those other two wires are located. This wire should be red with a black chaser (I think) . That is the power feed wire for the hydramatic indicator light.
  • Thanks Hudzilla Now I know. Thanks for the help. Ray
