how-deeeeeeeeeeeee....dawg here. im working on a 66 charger and the factory gauges do not work. these gauges are not like what im used to seeing. im used to a circuit board...but this isnt like that. it has electro-luminescent dash board, and no circuit board. all gauges were grounded out and none of them pegged...no movement at all .
after chasing wires all day and dancing with a schematic...heres what i discovered :
the schematic shows all the gauges being powered at the GAS GAUGE...and linking thereafter WITH A BROWN GROUND. (except the alt gauge, that works ).
there is a condenser connected to where the 12 volt power is supposed to go ( on the gas gauge ) and said condenser is grounded to the dash frame with the pigtail on the threaded stem...THERES NO POWER RUNNING TO IT FROM THE FUSE BOX like the schematic says........SO....
i put 12volts to it and still get no gauges...( key on ). they are all properly grounded and all wires are where they should be according to the schematic.
im usually a whizz when it comes to electricity but this one has me stumped.....any ideas?.....thanx in advance!
