as far as hooking up the brown wire that used to go to #8 to #5 on the new panel, it works. the system needs a light bulb.instead of the old gen light your using the temp light in the new guage. if the bulb burns out your system wont charge, just like it would with the old panel.

And there you have it. So why can you not run a resister in place of the light from the brown wire to the external voltage regulator as has been indicated?
BTW I re-read the thread and noticed you mentioned the terminal 5 on the gauge dash was for the temp light in your first post and I missed it. I should have included that in my post where I said terminal 5 dead ends. Sorry about that and hope I didn't cause confusion.
