Hi,

Ok, I have the shop manual with wiring diagram, a voltage reducer to take 12v down to 6, etc. Now I see that there is a bent ribbon of metal connecting the two poles on the gas gauge (see Photo)

It looks original but I am having a hard time understanding how this circuit will not bypass the gauge. Any thoughts on this situation? Should I just hook up the wires and see what happens?

thanks,
