Trying to finish installing my new factory harness but I can't get the instruments (fuel & water) to work. Everything else is working great. I checked my original voltage stabilizer and had power in but nothing out so I figure it was damaged in the meltdown. I got a new one from our hosts yet still nothing! Took it to the electriction at work and found that it had no continuity, our hosts were out of stock but they sent me a used one to try. It worked for about five minutes or so but later when I re-started the truck it too wasn't working. Using my test light I confirmed that I had power in but nothing out. Before I order another I'd like to confirm my wiring as maybe I'm burning them up...but no smoke was observed.
Green from the fuse box going into the Stabilizer on the "B" prong (power in confirmed with a test light)
Light green from the harness on the "I" prong (male connector) (no power out currently (no pun) as confirmed with a test light)
Light green from the harness (female connector)going into the top prong of the fuel gauge and a jumper coming off that (light green) over to the top prong of the temp gauge. Note that on page 88-1 (Instrument Panel) of the GB it doesn't show this light green jumper, it shows green to the temp gauge! The Basic circuit diagram does show a jumper so that is how I wired it.
Green-black on bottom of the fuel
Green-blue on bottom of the temp
I just discovered that I had the green-black and green-blue on the wrong gauges...would that have ruined the stabilizer?
Finally, can somone verify that my grounds are correct as the GB isn't very clear?
The top knurled nut on the instrument gauge has the following grounds going into it:
A black ground coming from the speedo
Two red-black grounds from the turn signals
Two other separate black grounds going into the harness.
Please help, I am very disgusted with this truck and myself right now!
