it is confusing. #5 on the new panel isnt used because it goes to a temp light. #6 is for the temp guage. a light bulb is reqired for the old external regulator to work. the new panel doesnt have a gen light, but does have a temp light that isnt used so i hooked it up there. now my system charges. as far as the charge guage i havent figured it out yet. to me you are hooking up both leads on guage to the same wire, 3 feet apart. i dont see a voltage difference.
