I wanted to clean up my wiriing under my dash because it was a rats nest under there. Removed the complete round dash cluster with the ammeter in it.
Clean it all up and reinstalled the cluster and now find my ammeter is pegged to the charge mark....This truck was converted to 12V at some point.
I am running an under dash after market voltmeter and previous to my removing the cluster the needle reading on the ammmeter was centered midway between the D & C.
The under dash volt meter works as it should,
I undid the neg side of the battery to see it the needle would center again but it is still pegged with out the battery hooked up.
I am assuming that the gage is fried due to me hooking up the ammeter to the 12V system when the gage is for a 6V system.
There is no Runtz reducer hooked to the back of the gage. Maybe the gage was never hooked up previously and I hooked it up when I put all the wires back...
I have not tried removing the wire of the ammeter but did remove the battery and like I said, it is still pegged.
ANY SUGGESTION ??????
