Re: Voltmeter Hook Up
it should have a wire that goes to the ignition side that will read votes when the switch is on. and a positive and ground for the light.

Re: Voltmeter Hook Up
Run a + wire to key on, and ground.
The terminals should be marked + & - on the gauge.

Re: Voltmeter Hook Up
On the back of the meter there are 3 studs with nuts on them.
No markings of + or - anywhere. There is a light bulb socket top center. The studs on the left and right appear to be just for the bracket holding the meter into the chrome housing, but not sure Stll stumped on this one. |

Re: Voltmeter Hook Up
Well I went to the local auto zone and looked at a new one and found that one wire goes to ground and one to the fuse panel
