I pulled my ammeter to paint the needle and clean up the face. I reinstalled, but now upon attaching the battery cables, I have no electrical to much of anything except the headlights, the horn and the parking (fog) lights.
No electrical to the turn signals, taillight, electrical radiator fan. Some original wiring (not much), 12 volt system, alternator, etc. All was well before
I pulled the ammeter. Any ideas, thoughts on what the heck I did (?), pointers appreciated. Thank you!

You may have dropped the wire to the ign. switch.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

I'd disconnect the two large wires to the amp meter and short them together with a large wire(#10). If everything comes online then you buggered something up in the meter or the connections.

X2. If you have the ammeter out you might check the continuity with your multimeter.
