On the emergency lever, There is the long arm and a smaller silver color piece directly behind it. (See attached Picture) is the silver piece...
in the picture one of the post does not have a wire going to it. does anyone one know what wire goes to it? I do not have any wires that are loose in the area.

The dash tank selector is left.
The drivers side floor selectors...
