Amps gauge fitting

Posted By : Ian Marvell, 01-Nov-2005, 09:05pm

hello,

I have replaced my radio for a bank of three gauges and am wondering if anyone can help with info on wiring of the amp gauge.
I understand that it has to be in series but where do i join it from, obviosly not from the battery live cable as the starter would draw so much current it would fry the gauge. I've have a look at a schematic of the wiring and am still a bit confused. Any help would be great.

Regards Ian Marvell

THe positive lead from the battery terminal runs to a terminal on the starter solenoid and joins several other positive feeds on the terminal. You will need to remove all the ring terminals from this terminal except the battery terminal and connect the amp gauge in series between the solenoid and the other positive feed cables. Probably better explained with a diagram as enclosed.
