Re: insturment cluster question
ill check my alternator, but ill try to rewire the ground wire to see if that works. i used the multimeter to check how many volts are comeing out of the harness and i got 24.8v and how many watts and it didnt give me a reading.

Re: insturment cluster question
watts cant be metered as far as i know. my understanding is that watts are volts and amps multiplied or devided or something. also, amps are measured differently than volts. you cant just touch the leads like you do for volts. amps are measured inline

watts / voltage = amps
watts / amps = voltage

fyi, 330ohm resistor (any wattage, bigger is better for large arrangements) will take 12v to somewhere around 2.7v-3v (spot on for LED's if you want to make ----...)
