Re: 2155 Ammeter wiring (I'm lazy...)

[quote=Mike Drew;228889]Still confusing, if you don't have a Superformance sitting in front of you.

Is 'to the right' towards the positive (charge) side or negative (discharge) side?

Your description makes it sound like both the load and the charge wires are hooked to the same side of the ammeter. This would cause the needle to move towards the positive side whenever there is power applied (that is, the alternator is charging) and move even further to the right when a load is placed on the system.

That ain't right!




Indeed.... Gee... I've NEVER seen an ammeter go to the left when charging, but then... what do I know...

Seriously...
I called Olthoff Racing and they know about the problem. Some cars have it.
And... have a fix.
I'm waiting for Dennis to get back to me.

Should have done that in the first place, but hey... we wouldn't have had all this fun!

:-)

Later,
Kirby
