Jerry Roberts Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Well , if you get them wrong , you won't hurt anything . Then you can just reverse them . I usually test them using an old headlight and a battery and watch for the needle movement . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBNeal Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I looked at the amp gauges I have in the box, and none of them were marked on the cardboard insulator. However, one of the complete clusters that was pulled still had the red wire on the terminal on the right (directly behind the discharge side)...if that doesn't work out, swap terminals 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollyDodge Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Thanks, I understand about switching , I was trying to hook it all up correctly the first time . My amp gauge has an "I" on the discharge side on the cardboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Elder Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 "I" for ignition?......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollyDodge Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 That is what I thought but it turned out not to be the case. I couldnt't stand it so I hooked the battery up and checked the polarity on the ammeter. I hooked it up as JB suggested above. I turned on the dome light and the wipers ( only thing cnnnected now) and the ammeter discharged. Not sure what the "I" is for. Anyway the wiper worked great and the dome light was bright! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
