regulator help/amp gauge bypass

....and

You should not just bypass the ammeter as described, but CHECK the firewall/ bulkhead connector for damage, and decide on a fix.

For myself, I'm doing away with it altogether, that is, "stringing" wire right through the holes. In my case, the connector suffered a LOT of damage, IE meltage and corrosion, not just on the "big three" heavy current fittings.
