The little spade finally failed completely on my switch E7TZ 15A851-A. AKA: E7TB 15852-AA In the MPC I see also the same with an E9 prefix. But all I seem to find online is F2UZ-15A851-A (Parking Brake Warning Switch) I'm not sure if this is RB, but it seems the Aeronose dash is quite different. .

Sorry to be pedantic, but be careful with your phrasing. Let's be clear, that this is a NOSP momentary switch in the blue/red "crank" wire circuit. (what would be B/R, if the factory harness existed) The switch, -when depressed- allows power to flow from the switch on the 'lower' steering column to the 'S' terminal of the fender mounted starter relay. It might be wise to have a low durometer rubber bumper push the switch, so the pedal doesn't hit a hard stop every time the clutch is depressed. You know, like a gumdrop looking one with a pull through stem you might find in the Dorman or Needa aisle of the parts store.

Interesting! The pedal boxes are the same 83-86, though obviously different, manual or automatic, as is the column and cluster. . Edit: if you don't have the original harness, im afraid any diagram I might have to offer isn't going to help

By '84 the harness (should) come set up for both, in series. Whichever transmission goes in, the other plug gets jumpered. This can be seen in the EVTM here on the site.

Which, again, means you need to drive it more. I don't think the senders are truly linear. Though these two newer tanks are the first time I've had to resort to Bullnose senders. The "one year wonder" Bricknose mechanical pump senders are unobtainium now. The original senders in my Bricknose were a little weird below a half tank, until it got down to 1/8 or so.

You could just ohm out the loop from dashboard ground to gauge wire at the big plug for the cluster. If you still have a full tank it will tell you exactly what the instrument is seeing.💡

And, I Thank YOU for introducing me to someone who has never been on my radar. The rich Cajun culture is something I know little about. That they continue their vernacular and don't seem endangered by the onslaught of media influencer's in 2024 is astonishing to me (but I am not one of them)

Does empty read right on E? Because you can adjust them. There's a little rack & pinion type thing inside. Could the gauge be accounting for additional resistance in the harness between itself and the sender?

Do not forget your transient cousins, who wandered down the Appalachians and through the bayou to New Orleans.... There are pockets of French influence in odd places like Alabama ,Tennessee and Arkansas, not just the Creole's. Americans seem to forget this -little thing- called the Louisiana Purchase, which was IMHO the best land deal we ever got! Alaska doesn't really compare.. Not that Steward's Folly wasn't a big deal -even before oil was a thing- but the purchase opened up the American West to the white colonists.

Perhaps Quebecoise is a unique subset of the Canadian experience?

Jeff, I thought you were Canadian, not French? Aren't you supposed to be apologizing profusely and interjecting "Eh" in every sentence???

Let's not forget "you'ns" which I would say is casual and plural. God bless America! 😁

Not exactly, but you found half of the solution. First, the manner to say. In that case, in french in such situation, we tend to englobe in our wishes the affected person and her or his family. Kind of «we think about you all». Second, the famous “you”. In french, there is one single and one plural form for this pronoun. Single “tu”. Plural “vous”. The action of using these forms is called “tutoyer” and “vouvoyer”. Note that this latter (vous) is also used to mark a respectful distance. The first time you meet someone, or if you don’t know well the person, or for your big boss, as examples. You can go from “you” to “tu” when you feel comfortable with a person, when a friendship relationship (right term?) is building. And you’ll often ask before the switch (can I “tutoyer” you?). I think that in english, since “you” is used for the single and plural forms, you can tag “all” after, in order to insist that everyone is targeted. So, in my formulation to Jim, there were two mistakes: 1- I forgot that “you” can be read as its single form. For me, it was evident that I was including Jim and her sister in my thoughts. Because when I think of Jim, I think of him as a friend, and if I was writing directly to him in french I would use “tu”. 2- I used the wishes formulation as I would in french, in its inclusive form, englobing Jim’s sister and all her family and relatives. But I think that such wishes should target only the affected person in english. So, it’s not only a “phrase” direct translation affair, it’s also a culture one. And this second dimension is never easy to size, always very subtle. Conclusion my friends, do not hesitate to ask me to rephrase if I’m not enough clear, or to correct me if I am clearly wrong! Jeff, don't ever think that I'm being critical (except if I'm joking) But even then, I may forget to add an emoji... The same two "you'd" in Spanish. I call it formal and casual. Usted & Su (and these depend on the Spanish you speak, Castillion is very different from Central American and Argentina+ Uruguay are unique, again. BTW, the royal plural in southern 'english' is All y'all. 😉

Let's see what Nick has to say.. (ask??)

The only answer that avoid all doubts an ambiguity! Alpha-Gal.....😉

Thank you for sharing your '89 EVTM Vivek!

Look in, or just in front of the door sill...

That's a bummer. I hope they're not too hard to find.

I can be quite dense. I think I followed convention on the board, and as you see I had 'random' colours of wire. I will do my best to get to the Post Office on Monday. Happy Easter, to everyone who celebrates! 🐇🐤🥚

Nice score! You made out, just in the nick of time.

Perhaps, because I'm an idiot!?

Ironically, I may have had it mis-wired all along! This is what happens when you get cocksure. Anyway, it's out now, and I'm going to enjoy 5/8 is empty and way below empty is full! 🙂 Also, my parking brake switch was bad, so I need to find a new one. 💡

Thank you Jonathan! I knew you'd have useful information to contribute..
