As far as the wires I checked the best I can , unplugged it at field conn, at ball resistor at firewall (in and out , 2 wires) and back to starter relay , since i ve had the car the horn relay didn t work replaced it , the resistor died too and also the starter relay , so those are all new , i ve had the dash out completely to clean up all the wires (had a problem with dome light and hazard circuit) , on the same token I cleaned and tightened all connections to the cluster fuse box etc... Just to say I didnt recheck at amp gauge. I check resitance and it is all @ 0 and no continuity to ground. One thing I can mention is when I was working with the dash off if I didn t connect the amp gauge wires together the car was dead , no start no lights no fan no radio nutinn DEAD! Is this normal or am I missing a circuit somewhere? I m sorry if I am thickening up the plot here but I think more info is better.
