Re: [Chrysler300] Question - F -gauges

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like you are confusing the 2 regulators.
The constant voltage regulator is on the back of the gauges, in the  
dash, and provides steady voltage to them.
The regulator you are saying your replaced, and seem to be testing, is  
on the firewall and is for the Generator.

? Cause: Malfunctioning constant voltage regulator or an open circuit  
on battery side (input) of regulator.
? Test: (1) Connect a voltmeter between the constant voltage regulator  
input terminal and ground. (2) Turn on ignition switch. A reading of  
approximately 12 volts indicates a defective regulator. No reading  
indicates an open circuit in wiring to the regulator.

My voltmeter with positive clipped to the regulator terminal reads 12  
volts with the ignition switch on or off. Let me also say I know very  
little about dealing with electrical issues.
