[DeTomaso] ammeter

[bill gaino]

If the gauge shows current being pulled, it is going through the gauge itself. I set up a seperate small fuse box that draws power from the + on the alternator. The wire is powered that feeds the box, from the batt, but not through the gauge. I use it to power my extra fans, amp, and a/c comp. 10 gauge Bill 1362
