I've been replacing my dash/guages/radio/knobs/lights/etc. on the CJ7 and ran into a snag today. I'm fairly certain I've mixed up the two wires on the back of the voltmeter and now I've fried many of the under-dash wires as well as cooked a fusable link just off the battery.
My dilemma is this...I wrote down where all the color-coded wires go on the back of my gauges and after re-installing them (and after the burning wires) I noticed that my illustration did not match the wiring diagram in my Haynes manual.
Can someone confirm the wires on the voltmeter for me? The fat yellow wire goes on the DRIVER side of the gauge, right? Therefore the black wire should attach to the passenger side. (This should be the correct way, I believe. My original illustration was opposite.)
Thanks all.
