    Head scratcher

    I've been putting off checking NSS. This week I Checked the switch and deemed it to be bad. The head scratcher, NSS unplugged and switch in tranny. I tried to start the car , It did. That shouldn't happen right? What am I missing.

    Gauges

    Gauges aren't grounded to mounting which I like. Also gauge lights are separate. Taped into accessory , Volt pegged as should have. i'll have to wait to check other two gauges when I break in engine.

    Wire connector on steering column

    They can be a bugger. That little dog ear that keeps the connecter in place sometimes doesn't want to back off. I use a dental tool. I can get in push the keeper down and pull connecter out.

    fuel gauge

    You can make your own ground strap. Sounds like float is stuck. Not that hard to replace.

    Gauges

    Bought a set of after market gauges , all electrical , temp oil , volt. Directions say to wire power to ign start . My question is , can I put all three guages on one feed wire or would it be best to spread the load out . No indication in directions on what amps they pull .

    Ya another fun night in Yakima. Coeur D alene is about 240 from Yakima. Not a bad drive. I used to go up to Preist River all the time. Love that area. I think I have this figured out. I don't have a ground problem . As some of you mentioned the sending unit is reading to high at over 80 ohm's...

    Mine is the double board. I have already soldered all the pins. I rebuilt the boards a couple weeks ago. Ran a test on everything I did. Nothing touching ,good continuity ,tracers all good. Yes using solid state limiter dead on at 5v out put. Dash lights all work, blinkers work. Tomarrow I'm...

    Stumped

    Ok , once again. I have established that I have continuity on the sending unit. The ohms read from 9 to about 87. I'm fine there. I have tested this both at the unit base and at the ground wire to the body. When I apply power I get 5v at the unit stud ,this is good but it is not sending...

    Stumped

    Right. Been there , done that. Not having problems finding ohms. I'm getting 5v no matter where i touch it on the sending unit. I'm thinking I have a short in the unit itself. I will still get all the correct ohm readings but the voltage isn't making the resistance it needs to operate. In other...

    Voltage limiter is working correctly 12 V in 5 V out. I have 5V at the feed wire. Continuity through out the sweep of the float 9 to 89 close enough. Grounded power at sending unit, gauge works. Rechecked ground, ran seperate wire to ground, continuity from new ground to sending unit good...

    Stumped

    I'm having sending unit problems. New sending unit. I have done all the fuel gauge tests and the guage works. I have voltage to sending unit. I'm grounded to the same place as my fuel pump and it works fine. I've put my multimeter on everything and its all checking out. I even pulled the sending...

    Instrument plug in ,pin repair

    I used a pair of small needle nose vise grips and pinch it tight. It broke off and i think that was my problem, not a good connection. I found a piece of copper wire just big enough to slip into the broken pin, wedged it in tight put the pin back on the board,ground the copper wire down from the...

    Just finished wiring my 68 Dart. Pluged in the insruments to check them. Everything was ok except my right blinker wouldn't blink. Bulbs good, I have power to plug in. When I pushed on the plug in it would blink. I pulled the plug and noticed that the pin was loose. What is the best way to...

    Nutreul safety switch question

    Desided to rewire my Dart. Old wiring was really hacked. I already had a after market harness (GM color code). No more connector through the fire wall. Sence I'm not using a Mopar Harness, how do the three wires from the NSS hook up ? Is it still outside wires to back up and middle to ground ...
