I have a multimeter on the 5V and the other side to ground and the scale on the Digital MM is pulsing. The scale goes up, hits OL, drops, goes up, repeat. 2 - I was working on the wiring I had the DBL wire that brings 12V to the regulator and it touched the metal back of the gauge. At that time, two lights I had plugged in, lit up. I guess that means my orage wire for the dashboard general lighting is grounded somewhere. I had the gauge cluster laying on the carpet, so it should not have been grounded. No matter how responsible he may seem, never give your gun to a monkey! 1970 Coronet Vert 1972 Charger 1974 Satellite Sebring Plus Sundance 2001 Ram 4x4 2002 Intrepid 2006 300C
