Just put both the red and black wires under the same post of the meter. Bypasses the meter and maintains a closed circuit. No cutting, no splicing, no problems.
Might want to add a voltmeter on the bottom of the dash or someplace. Can tap off of the same post of the ammeter that the two wires are on for the hot lead to the voltmeter. Then just ground the other voltmeter lead.
Got side-tracked with engine stuff, so just getting around to this. Here's a NOS one I'm looking at. I don't see any wires. Are they hidden in pic? It's the only pic of back from seller.
