Bought Mopar resistor - part # 974 966 on ebay thinking I was buying one but the box came with two. Changed them out and now I have low, med, and high on my heater.
Well I got the new ammeter in and it only took an hour and a half. Please excuse any misspellings or typo's because I can't raise my head to see the screen due to the kink in my neck. Also my fingers are all cramped up.
Had to change the face of the gauge because mine is black and the one I got on ebay was brown. Took the glass off. took the screws out and took the back of the dial off. My original on was all rusty from water but I couldn't see where water had gotten into the cluster. Oh, well. Trying to put the dial back on with the little magnet and the needle was a challenge. Didn't realize how much my hands shake. Put a small pin in the one hole to try to hold it in place while I had tweezers holding the other sides screw. Got them in. Cleaned the glass face plate and carefully put it on hoping I don't break the little tabs that hold the glass. Whew!
Back out to the car. Worked the new gauge into it's spot and held it with my hand while I crawled out to see if it was in right. I put the wrong glass dial on! It's yellowish and my gauges are white. Son of a ....
Back in the house. take it apart, put the other glass dial on, back in the garage and got it in but not screwed down. Can't find the one (the other was missing) screw. It fell somewhere and for the life of me, I can't find it. So I take a screw out of the fuel gauge because that has two. Had to put Elmer's glue on the screw to hold it to the screwdriver but I got it in.
Hook up the battery, turn the key, hit the starter and IT WORKS!!!
Now I'm so proud of myself until I look at my previously working fuel gauge and it's not working. Son of a ....
I guess there's two screws holding them in place for a reason. Off to the hardware store I go with on of the screws in hand...it's gonna be a long day.
