I got a new on/off switch put in my truck. Which connection does the wire from the fuel guage hook to? I don't want to guess, although sometimes that's the best way!! If I'm looking at the back of the switch, with the key on and in the "straight up" position, which of the three terminals do I hook to? The 10, 2, or 6 o'clock?
THANKS A MILLION! I guess I really oughta buy me a wiring diagram!

You learn something new everyday! I've never had to mess with the ignition switch before! I'll take a look at it tomorrow and hope I get it hooked up right.
Thanks a million!

Even a cheap one is worth it's weight in gold. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,112 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,112 | Those cheap multimeters are an amazing bargain. In some ways they are better than the expensive meters of years ago. They are the number one tool for troubleshooting the electrical system, as Cletis said. | | |
