I was hoping to find a fried gauge but it appears fine. Nothing melted or charred. All the soldering is fine & even all 3 windings are still intact.

The only wire that was toast was the 12 volt + from the ignition switch to the fuel gauge.

Fyi.... power goes from starter to Amp gauge ( blackwire). Then 2 red wires go from Amp gauge to light switch & other goes to ignition switch.

I have another gauge on the way but need to find my error before installing new one.

Help ohwell
