DEAD completely

ammeter.. the connection, when I move it power goes on and off.
Disconnect the battery!
Can I do this splice under the hood.
Lost me here. The ammeter connections are in the back of the dash.
Can I just eliminate the f@#$%(( thing. Do I just put the two wires together ?
Yes and no.
Disconnect the battery and see what is loose.
If its one of the ring terminals, then replace the terminal.
If its the stud on the back of the ammeter, then yes just move that over to the good stud and gently snug the nut up so the two wires are connected.
If your talking about something under the hood, then no. All of the connections under the hood are essential.
