Hot ammeter

So I should not do the bypass of the bulk head connectors? Hopefully have time this weekend to check the wiring. Thanks to everyone for your input.
Many guys here advocate installing a new bypass wire of large size, FUSED direct from alternator stud to battery. This is fine AS FAR AS IT GOES but you STILL NEED to make CERTAIN that the ammeter wires are connected AND THAT the ammeter wire terminals have not been burnt IE maybe cut them off and remake if they show damage,

AND!!!!..........Pull the bulkhead connector apart, inspect, and replace / repair as necessary, because the ammeter wires now act as the supply line for all the circuits which originate inside the passenger compartment
