Why not cook marshmallows on my under dash fire?

dkbug said

Also, I want to bypass the ammeter, how? There has to be a thread on this somewhere. Since I am running an aftermarket volt gauge, I would like to run through that if possible.

Electricity doesn't like me. I don't like it either...

Thanks, DK

I feel your pain! My bulkhead connector has been giving me fits and has left me powerless 5 or 6 times in the past 2 weeks. I ordered the "kit" from http://www.madelectrical.com/electricaltech/amp-gauges.shtml (page 2 is the install) $43.95 and includes everything you need for the install. You have to call to order, he doesn't have an online ordering system yet. Called Mark yesterday, nicest guy you ever wanted to talk to. In the meantime, to keep going, I've bypassed the ignition system with a toggle switch and push button switch. Flip the switch, push the button, release the button and drive.

To bypass the ammeter, just pull your dash cluster out and, on the ammeter, you'll see a red lead and a black lead. Just move the red lead over to the same terminal as the black lead (that's what I've done so far) or splice those 2 together. Splicing them together is one of the steps in the above madelectrical mods.
