Amp gauge to volt meter kit
Has anyone did one of these volt meter conversion kits on successfully? I put one on and the voltmeter works, but my temperature gauge went over to H and stayed there. Any ideas?

Re: Amp gauge to volt meter kit
Describe how you wired in the voltmeter. If you tied the voltmeter to the temperature gauge for 12V, then I'm wondering if maybe you connected it to the wrong terminal on the temperature gauge.

Re: Amp gauge to volt meter kit
I wired it according to a sketch Tbone sent. I'm thinking maybe I have the posts of the temp gauge grounded to the tin. I'll check it out today. Thanks for the reply.

Re: Amp gauge to volt meter kit
I found the problem.... my error....while installing voltmeter, turned the insulated breaker left and right and it goes up and down. Didn't damage anything, just pegged the temp gauge to H. Thank you guys for being willing to help. Have a great day

Re: Amp gauge to volt meter kit
I didn't know any conversion kit was needed to convert from an Ammeter to a Voltmeter?

Re: Amp gauge to volt meter kit
It's a later model voltmeter with a the face plate changed and voltmeter graphics on it. Tbone did make and sell them. I'm not sure if he still does. I couldn't find where he had posted anything recently. The amp gauge was replaced because it never worked. Have a great day.
