35 Ford Ammeter Flops to Full Discharge
Stock 35 Ford, 6 volt. Ammeter started instantly flopping to full discharge (-) when ignition turned on. Car cranks, starts OK & when engine running ammeter indication normal, charging.
What's going on? Thanks. |

Looking at the wiring diagram the only thing the ignition switch supplies
is the coil and oil pressure gauge. |
