It's a live wire from headlight switch only. Push prongs against metal somewhere and should light up.

Oh maybe I should be testing it then when it’s inserted into the gauge housing.  I had been testing it with the socket pulled out of the housing.

Common? Doubt it. I added one. Had to make diagrams of where or forget.

It grounds through the gauge housing, and the ground cones from the voltmeter plug. There's a terminal on the back that is bolted straight onto the case, the rest are insulated.

That's a single wire bulb isn't it? Has the metal spring prongs into rear of gauge housing. Make sure it's grounded, or has the gauges connected.

Correct.  I don’t see any ground wire that is attached to that gauge cluster (like there is from the
main cluster- is there supposed to be one?

Sorry to hear. 

Crazy to think but even the young guys that started on the forum are middle age now.  Live everyday to the fullest everyone.

Back to the center gauge bulb - I bought the new one but it still doesn’t work.  I’m assuming the socket itself died and I’d have to cut the wiring and solder in a new one?
