Re: Cluster lights 51 Packard

I drew the red circles just to show the location of the dash lights for you.

For whatever reason, from 51-53 using that style cluster they did not show even the outline of a speedometer. It is a wiring diagram so maybe understandable since there is nothing electrical directly connecting to the speedo. They did show a speedo outline for the 54 newer style clusters and continued it thru 56 but it was still not shown on the 54 clusters for those Clipper models which used the same earlier style cluster.

The hi beam and turn signal lights do show on the diagram in their approximate locations but those only shine thru physical holes with a red and amber color filter mounted on the underside of the speedometer face. The bulbs do not in any way electrically connect to the speedo so Packard probably felt no need to draw an outline of the speedo.
