Volts gauge problem

[jay28]

Hi all,

Dont think my volts gauge has ever been working, so had an hour to spare today and took it out, connected the gauge directly to the battery and getting 12v so the gauge is fine.

I checked the 3 pin connector and im not getting any reading, so im guessing there's a break in the wire somewhere.

Does anyone know where the wires come from?

Cheers

Red with blue stripe is the 12V to the voltmeter - arrives via your black fusible link and the "dome light" 10A fuse in the fuse box (White with red stripe from fusible link to fuse box). Black to ground as usual.
Black fusible link is fed from fat white at starter motor terminal.

So does a 260 have a Voltmeter then?

Just going out now to follow Mikes instructions to see if I can find a problem.........I hate anything to do with wires!

Well found a break in the red and blue wire near the fuse box area, So now have a volts reading, oh and my clock is now working too!

Now to sit back and watch Ireland beat England in the Rugby

Yes, instead of the ampmeter.
