Swapping an amp gauge (or ammeter) for a volt metre is an manageable assignment. As far-reaching as the fresh gauge is the duplicate magnitude as the dated gauge, the replacement requires fleeting added than the Appendix of a ground wire. Really, many amp gauges already enjoy an receive ground wire connected to them from the foundry, so adding an further ground wire may not be fundamental.
Instructions
Insulate the end of the remaining power wire and disregard.4. Test the voltage at the battery using a digital multimeter.
2. Remove the amp gauge. Once it is removed, examine the wires prospect from the back of it. In some cases, there Testament be two power wires and one ground wire. In this case, connect one of the power wires to the positive terminal on the gauge, and connect the ground wire to the negative terminal. Insulate the end of the remaining power wire and disregard.
3. Connect power to the volt meter. In some cases, there will be no ground wire at the amp gauge. In the event that a ground wire is not present, connect one of the power wires to the positive terminal on the volt gauge. Run your own ground wire to the negative terminal of the volt meter.1. Choose a volt metre that is the alike extent and shape as the amp gauge you are replacing. This Testament adjust the installation easier, as there Testament not be any modifications required to fit the fresh gauge properly.
Once the gauge is installed, it should read the same voltage as the multimeter does at the battery.
