Can someone help? I need to drive my dart tomorrow

Here's what I would do:

- Take off voltage regulator from the firewall and sand away any paint around the boltholes to bare metal. Clean up the back of the screws too. This insures a good ground for the VR and might fix the fluctuating charge-voltage.

- With the ballast resistor, temporary take off the connectors and lightly sand off any of the 'black' of the resistor's male-connectors down to brass color again. Try to clean up the female connectors as well.

- Permanently remove the thick wires off from the ALT-gauge. Clean/sand the wire O-rings to bare metal and bolt them together tightly with a small bolt and nut. Then tape it off real good with no metal protruding, to prevent contacting any other metal parts nearby. Maybe even tie it away from anything else.
