rb1949 Posted May 25, 2016 Report Posted May 25, 2016 Learning as I go, related to the instrument cluster post and a partial rewire project. With wiring complete, and the instruments still removed, it would be good to perform some electrical tests to check your work prior to reassembly. Battery was connected, no sparks or smoke. But zero electrical activity. Ack, what have I done now? Thinking, the only thing missing that could be part of the circuit was the Amp Gauge. Brought out gauge and hooked it up. Tah Dah, everything worked, and was able to test all new wire connections. Which brings up the above question. The Amp Gauge wires are a necessary part of the circuit. Thru the gauge. For testing, can you just connect the amp gauge wires together, bypassing the gauge? I didn't want to create a short circuit and melt all the wires. Silly question, but I don't know. Thanks. Quote
Merle Coggins Posted May 25, 2016 Report Posted May 25, 2016 Yes, that will complete the circuit, you just won't be able to see the Amp draw Quote
rb1949 Posted May 25, 2016 Author Report Posted May 25, 2016 Thanks a bunch. Doing that permits more work room, not having the instrument cluster in the way. Just be sure they don't touch ground! Quote
