Search results for query: ammeter gauge bypass

Ammeters are connected to electrical circuits in a specific way. The thing you need to do is connect the bulkhead connector just like the factory did. Then, on the dash, go to the rear side of the gauge panel and locate the ammeter connection. (do this with the battery DISCONNECTED). You...

Iv had the dash apart multiple times and there is a 10-12 gauge black wire (negative) and a red wire the same size (positive). what are you exactly saying to do with those?. Just unhook one and tape it off?

I am not sure what thread it is, but there is a guy on here that took an Autometer gauge I think and gutted it and put it behind the ammeter location. Otherwise, it's usually done by a company. That is what I'm having done. In that case, You still need to disconnect the ammeter and hook the red...

More than likely the fusible link, engine side.....or dash side to the ammeter.....or the ammeter itself...... Inspect everything on socket J......... If the gauge is the culprit......do the bypass......send the cluster out during the winter for restoration.......and do the amp to volt...

the factory alt wasn't even able to feed the stock equipment!!! then everybody added bigger batts that will never get fully charged back, so the ammeter will be allways going back and forth. Factory bypassed the bulkhead from assembly line with alts more than 60 amps! so, if you upgrade the...

After a long period of sitting, my car takes a fairly long, multiple extended crank to start. I charge the battery before that long extended crank, but I would watch my under dash ammeter swing to 20-22 AMPS for about a minute, or so. One day I decided to measure the voltage drop from the...

Hello! Considering the idea of parting ways with my car.. I put together a quick information sheet about the car. 1965 Plymouth Satellite Engine: LA 360 +.04" 10:1 piston OE Iron Head w/ 2.02 intake valve Edelbrock rpm air gap 130a Alternator Transmission: CRT Pro-Street 904 built trans...

I am going to upgrade wiring on 1972 RR with Mad ammeter bypass. I am running an 8 gauge wire from 75 amp alternator to a 12 gauge fusible link at starter relay. But can someone please explain why the two 10 gauge wires coming from the bypassed ammeter and through drilled holes in bulkhead...

The factory ran the 100 amp feed wire to the starter relay because it's the shortest and easiest path (about a 4 foot run). The issue is the alternator is on the right and the battery is on the left. The factory would either had go around the radiator (which is a 7 foot run), or across the...

Its actually a 1970 Sport Satellite with an "Alternator" gauge which is an Ammeter.

Yeah, I replaced the bulkhead spade connector with a continuous wire from the Starter relay with a fusible link in between. There is no ammeter anymore, I have a Dakota Digital gauge cluster with an amp gauge. I sort of followed the MAD electrical guidelines but did it slightly different. I also...

Need to save the heat on ammeter to keep the insulations safe from crack and stud itself from rust and loosen from the internal shunt. And to make this need a powerfull alt ( believe or not ) to keep OUT the load coming and going from/to batt throught the ammeter, allong with clean and tight...

And it doesn't get the actual charging circuit out of the interrior if your running extras and a heavier amp altinator.

The issue I see with that method is that it ignores the possible issue in the first place. The guts of the ammeter are very robust and will not fail. The failure occurs in the isolator gasket between the gauge studs and dash housing and with oxidation between wires and studs. Bolting both wires...

So, who the hell routinely checks their ammeter, or routinely replaces one? You? You make it sound like it was a case of improper maintenance or neglect. Guess what? Parts fail! They do, really! And yes, it was indeed an ammeter failure. Note how the connection from the post to the gauge...

Are you still using oem ammeter? If so that might be on the way out. Just about everything runs through the ammeter. So if that is failing or has failed you might want to bypass it. I just went through this, pretty much nothing worked but the clock. Bypassed the gauge put a voltmeter in and all...

The straight path between alt and starter relay stud and what still goes throught the bulkhead is not JUST about the less resistance path, is about where is the load sucked in and how many paths you got to feel the load demand. IF YOU CUT the batt load demand because keep it full with a GOOD...

Yes I guess is hard to believe, but if you look at the Bosh kind relays some of them are rated to source more than 30 amps and still use same kind of terminals than packards. ( females are in fact the same ). Of course they need to be in perfect conditions. After all these years and stress, of...

a quick note so quick update: I haven't checked the passengers tail light out of the socket since, but I think my issue comes down to the front blinkers not being attached/grounded as I've built new ones that I'm finalising. They seem to be working fine once connected, but I haven't pulled the...

Sometimes I become hardcore on this because the way how ppl says I'm wrong or kinda stupid somehow, like I have not experienced this personally and made all kind of changes and mods ( yes including the voltimeter add and ammeter bypass in the past ). Specially when I made all the diagrams...
