Hey All,
Saturday, February 28, 2020, Afternoon Update:
The First JPG (below) shows a Trio of Switches. The Switch on the Left is the Run Switch.
The Second JPG (below) is of the back of the Voltmeter.
The Third JPG (below) is of both the Switches, AND the Voltmeter.
The lower LEFT Knurled Thumb Nut (KTN) holding the Red Wire with the Ring Fitting that is lying on the Back of the Dash Panel is a Ground Connection FROM the (-) Terminal of the Voltmeter.
The other Red Wire FROM the Run Switch TO the lower RIGHT KTN is TO the (+) Terminal of the Voltmeter.
When the Run Switch is turned ON, Current flows FROM the Run Switch, INTO the Voltmeter, then OUT of the Voltmeter to Ground, and the Voltmeter MEASURES the number of Volts flowing THROUGH the Meter.
That is what is SUPPOSED to happen. Whether it ACTUALLY will happen remains to be seen.
The Red Wire running on the other side of the Volt Meter is the Wire supplying the Gauges with Current to their Instrument Lights.
Also, notice the Black Wire coming from the (+) Terminal of the Voltmeter. THAT is where Current TO another Gauge is coming FROM. When the Run Switch is OFF, neither the Voltmeter nor the other Gauge will be active.
Anyway, that's the First exposition of Lorrie's SEVEN Gauges, and SIX Switches. Next we will deal with Lorrie's Tachometer. Will keep you all updated if, when, and as progress occurs. Take care everyone.
