[Chrysler300] Alternator Gauge Failures?

[mwl1967@xxxxxxx]

Hi All,
              just wanted to run this by. I just finished installing my new 
wiring harnesses  in the K along with new battery, battery cables, starter 
relay etc and the  car was totally dead. Traced power into the car and all the way 
up to the  alternator gauge positive side but not negative.
 
            Remembering  some issues I had years ago with later model B-body 
MoPars I bypassed the  alternator gauge and everything came to life. Although 
the K has been in boxes  since '05 and I can't say for sure that this was the 
original gauge that came  out of the car when it was running I can say that 
all the gauges "looked" good (  meaning not burned or corroded like was evident 
in the B-body cars when I had  problems ).
 
            Has  anyone had any problems like this? What's the proper test 
for this type of gauge  before installing a replacement? I've never had one go 
so dead like this with no  visual indicators that something was fried.
 
Thanks,
Mike Laiserin
