1) One is for the cabin light, the other is for the alarm. Maybe they use a single switch in your 95.

2) I use it as a boost gauge. I reset the indicator on the bourdon tube device such that it indicates 5-12 psi between posts. Jeremy uses it as an engine vacuum pump monitor. You drive a 603 with one eye on the temp gauge so you might as well have a boost gauge where you'll see it

3) I installed an afterglow relay and coolant temp sensor for full afterglow function. I hooked up the blank warning light space to the #1 glow plug so I know when it's glowing. The yellow glow indicator goes out long before the glow plugs go out.
