Ampmeter wiring ... help!

ok.ok

whilst we were sharing in a heady combination of sarc, electrical quadrations and despair i did answer a lot of the questions.

so...

already have a volt meter (and a clock!)

the defender catching fire would be bad! so i guess that the consensus of the more knowledgeable members is that amp meters suck and add no measurable value

someone asked what i want to measure, current drain on the battery as a result of electrical components on and off.

i am now at the point of every other post on the topic in every landy forum.... forget the idea, find a nice pretty round photo frame and put it over the amp meter... lol

thanks for giving me a giggle at the very least.

Common sense ;)

Get the ammeter on EBAY and fit an EGT gauge ;)

Much more useful :)
 
Ammeters were designed to be used in older electrical systems that had generators, rather than ammeters and had lower current charging systems. Modern vehicles use a voltmeter to do the same thing, or use a shunt at the battery end and then use lower current carrying wires up to a calibrated ammeter.

other than that, if yu cant answer my previous q's then i aint prepared to offer any assistance. contact TIM and ask them.
