Ampmeter gauge - Are you there speedy?

Hi RAMVA!

Yesterday I found an old ampmeter gauge in an old parts box that's been stored for a lot of years. What is the correct way to test it? It has a positive and a negative terminal on the back, and the socket for the small lightbulb.

TIA, Karls

Put the meter in series with a headlamp to test,.

However, ammeter not recommended for VW. You need to run 2 heavy wires from rear of car to front and that introduces even more voltage drop. A dash voltmeter gives more/better information.

Thanks Speedy, I'll check if it works and install it on the truck. Let's see how much power the inverter drinks.

Thanks again. Karls
