| Post subject: | Ammeter "eliminator" how to?? |
Can someone point me to a "How to" to eliminate the dash ammeter gauge. I figure if I'm getting HL relays, I might as well eliminate another source of underdash fires! TIA Mike OR: I read a Rick E blub., and that's to: Connect a fusible link to the starter relay stud. Crimp-splice in a piece of suitable (heavy-gauge) wire, and connect the other end to the alternator stud. That’s it....firewall problems bypassed forever! will the ammeter still work properly with this "jumper"? is the problem really solved??? |

It may vary by years... but the concept is all the same. On mine the wires had ring terminals on the end and held to the gauge with a nut. Remove the nuts and terminals off the gauge. Sand the terminals clean, then use a small machine screw and nut to hold the terminals together. Insulate with your favorite gookum - I chose adhesive-less splicing tape so it will be easy to undo if ever I need to. |

See here. (I'll add Rick E's method to the large list of hack-aѕѕ "solutions" to this often-misunderstood "problem". And no, the ammeter will not continue working after you've applied any such a hack.) |

You might be interested in an active shunt http://www.tidewatermoparclub.com/TECH/ ... shunt5.pdf that keeps the ammeter working. |
