Voltage limiter question
« on: December 27, 2013 - 04:44:20 PM »
Hooked up dash and the fuel, oil and temp don't work. Used circuit tester on wire leading to limiter and the light comes on but there is no light where gauges hook up. Got frustrated and walked away for now, when I go back I'll hook a ground directly to it and check again.

Question..... while I doubt that I did it, is it possible if the leads are reversed to the limiter that it will blow the limiter ? Its the "new style" with only 2 spade fittings.

I believe the voltage limiter has a socket which can only be plugged in one way.

Might be a grounding issue...

Post a picture of it. Even the solid state regulators should have a ground pin. I think they only go in one way.

My dash does not have the circuit board.

I found an old one of the type I have and I'm using it, so everything works now.
