69 swinger ..cluster panel queston ??

I have since gotten into a real mess, I was working on the wiper linkage this afternoon and the new SUN amp gauge. Put the linkage all back together , put the amp gauge in the housing under the dash, still have the dash cluster out of the car. I put the battery cable back on and it sparks some... no biggy , the headlight switch is on I figure...... well by then, my fuse link is smoked but that's good because it could have been worse. Anyways I figured that the only wires I messed with was the amp gauge ....I find out that the insulator on the amp gauge had one corner broken off which I didn't see and when I tighten it down the wire hit the case.... So when I mounted it into the housing ....SHORT !!! But I have since corrected that problem and will move on the the gas gauge tomorrow. This has turned into a real pain in the A$$..... One good thing , I had a spare fuse link anyway !!!

I did fire the car up, the gauge and wipers both worked good !! :happy4:
