It looks as though the ground is at one side of the coil whose other side goes to the sender. I was wondering if anyone knows what the pathway is from this point to the shell of the gauge cluster. It seems like the gauge housing will be grounded by bolting to the dash, and that would complete the ground path, but I'm not seeing what the path is between the gauge head and the shell. And when I'm re-assembling the cluster, I'd like to make sure to clean up any contact points to get a good ground. Any feedback would be appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | On the AD trucks there is a small brass portion of the gauge that contacts ground. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 33 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 33 | The thing that looks like a small electrical solder terminal, that has a piece of magnet wire soldered to it, and sits right between the two threaded posts that go out the back of the housing, is what you're talking about, right? Thanks for the information. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | Yes I believe the brass plate at the back has a small magnet wire attached to it. | | |
