The car is a 67 Plymouth Satellite if it helps. The wiring is NOT hacked up on this car and I have no other apparent wire damage anyplace else under the dash.


you might want to check that again , had a similar thing happen to my dads 72 duster , burned the wires all the way to the ammeter , didn't find the problem till a year or so after the wiring under the hood was fixed by the local repair shop he used. I pulled the cluster to find the harness all melted together and bare wires hitting the back side of the dash. You'll want to have the alt tested .
