Ok, so im writing this as I wait for the tow truck so please disregard any typos. I searched this amazing forum and found four threads listed the same but my issue is a little different. Everything was fine, I stop at the gas station fill up and start the car and hear the starter still going...

Blinkers worked today, yet more intermittent wiring problems to deal with. Oh how I love Mopars! I will probably get the new solid state VL, but at $50 it is not really in my budget as of now, hopefully soon though. Thanks for all of the great info everyone

So when I bought the car two year ago there was a extra stock gauge cluster that came with it. Lucky for me it had a voltage regulator. I spent five minutes to change it out (record time for an electrical fix). The guages are back to normal. So easy. But now the blinkers don't flash on the dash...

Thanks, I did not know that! Ill take a look under there today after work and see what I got.

The voltage regulator is rather new (6 months) and is located under the hood. When you say "built in" do you mean built into the circut?

BTW its a 66 Dart

So my gas and temp guage max out to the right when I turn the power on. I have bypassed the amp guage a while back and have not had any problems, but I am assuming it is something related at that point. But before I get under the dash again what would cause those guages to max out. Would it be...

Finished things up today. I did the upgrade outlined in the MAD article. While I was at it I replaced other wires that were worn out. There is a good charge to the battery now and the engine bay looks much cleaner. At some point I may take out the dash and replace/fix the ammeter, but there are...

Sweet, thanks for the posts. I jiggled and tightened the alt side of the ammeter and things are working. My only fear is that it may have been somewhere further down the line and when I was behind the dash I knocked it back into position. But ill find out if she dies in me again.

I am getting power to the ammeter (didnt check the exact voltage though). So then it sounds like the ammeter is bad. How do I go about checking the ammeter.

When you say voltage regulator do you mean the ignition ballast? How did you check the ign2 wire? Was it with the key in and turned all the way? or just the first click?

Just bypassed the ammeter and there was still nothing. I took a closer look at the ignition switch wires and there are 6 wires going to it and there is a 7th terminal that is not conected. WTF? Its about 35F outside at 9:45 so im calling it for tonight.
