Wiring in a volts gauge.

OK, does the wire that goes to the ammeter power the dash lights and gauges?? I installed a new cluster, bypassed the ammeter and nothing works on the cluster. :coffee2:

In the wiring diagram above you can see that the ammeter wiring connects to the fuse block (the section that is hot all the time), the ignition switch and light switch. If you've eliminated the ammeter wiring that may be your problem.
