Thanks, for the detailed info. It helped a lot. None of the diagrams I have show the brn/wht resistor wire. I did trace it to the ignition switch and thought that it might be the idiot light check when you turn the key to on.
Anyway I did like you said and clipped the brown wire and used it for one of the amp (voltmeter) wires. I knew the amp meter was measureing the voltage drop across the main power feed but I didn't know what voltage corresponded to what amp draw. Since such small current acutualy passes through the gauge I wonder why so many of the circuit boards have the amp circuit etch blown?
On another subject do you happen to know what is the value of the resistor for the temp gauge. I have heard 80-90 ohms. Also any idea what resistance(from the temp sender) corresponds to what temp?
