Not sure, my guesses are:
Brown = Alternator ("GEN") warning lamp or "BRAKE" warning lamp
Green = "HOT" warning lamp
Blue= ?

Blue is for the oil pressure light.

Ok my temp is workin with green and pink
Now do I need a resistor?
Its started at cold and after of it running for about 10 15 its about 1/4 before middle, is it reading rite,
And now for brown and pink it sorta works/worked, its bouncin in the middle of gauge but wen I hit the gas it goes to dead side
Shouldn't it bounce to more charge
But wen its connected I turn car off and it still runs I disconnest the pink and it shuts off?
What could make that happen
Thanks

What kind of gauge are you trying to wire, a volt gauge or a amp gauge? Do not use the pink and brown for anything and put the bulb back in. It is for your charging system.

Because voltage is fed from the alternator on the brown wire. If it gets on the pink also with key off it backfeeds the ignition. With the bulb in place, it acts as a resistor.
