My instrument gages (fuel, oil, water) were not working when the car is running( they had worked with the key on and the engine not started). I just installed a wiring harness from american autowire and a one-wire alternator. After scratching my head for a litte bit, I unplugged the ammeter, started the car and the gages worked fine! (except for the ammeter). Because of the new harness and the one-wire alternator, I had connected the ammeter yellow wire to the alternator post and the red wire to the battery stud on the starter relay. (I ran the two wires through the firewall and plugged them into the ammeter).
Is there a better way to hook up the ammeter? What would cause the rest of my gages to not work if the ammeter is plugged in this way?
on a side note, the american autowire harness was easy to install (relatively) and I got it right the first time (except for the ammeter, LOL)
