i have to agree with stepside that nothing i try will make this guage work.dont think both of our guages would be bad. hookup makes no sense to me.taking a voltage reading on the same wire a few feet apart gives the same reading. my truck also has no fusable link. maybe there is enough resistance in the link to make a difference?
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.
