nocones Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I'm replacing all my gauges with new Speedhut guages and noticed that there are two big wires that feed the ampmeter. A white one and the other is white w/red stripe. Since I am not going to be using a voltmeter or ampmeter, do I need to do anything with these wires other than cap them off? I'm worried that they might be connected in series and that something downstream will not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19762802+2 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Download the FSM for your car off of Xenonzcar.com and check out the wiring diagram, that should help you to know what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOZ UP Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) I would find where they are hooked up and disconnect them there. They are the leads for the ammeter, and they can carry quite a lot of current before the fusible link blows. EDIT: Duh, it has to have everything drawing current through it to measure it correctly. See below. Edited December 10, 2010 by BLOZ UP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
