Re: Help with my voltmeter
If you hook it backwards it will be quite obvious !

Re: Help with my voltmeter
Yes I know it will be obvious. I don't want to fry the gauge though. At motornut I'm aware of what the symbols and Colors mean as far as voltage goes. But knowing what the symbols and colors mean doesn't help because these year voltmeters weren't marked. At least mine is not.

Re: Help with my voltmeter
Run a couple jumpers directly to your Battery and hook them to te give before you put it in. Shouldn't do any damage if you hook it up backwards

Re: Help with my voltmeter
Hooked it up to a battery with alligator clips and smoked a little.
Now when I hook it up it moves way to much or not at all Posted via Mobile Device
