Well Tom, Sounds like you let the smoke out the wire. Never let the smoke out of the wire. In order to cause enough resistence to cause the ampmeter wire to get that hot, you have something grounded. But let me ask 3 things. Do you have a cigar lighter? Is it stuck in?.
Is your truck negative ground or positive ground? Could it be that it is negative ground and you have the battery hooked wrong?


I didn't do it, no one saw me do it, you can't prove anything! "Bart Simpson"
