Subject: Re: Grounding question
The instrument cluster in our Mopars is SUPPOSED to be grounded through the mounting screws to the dash frame. If you're working on the cluster using the car to power it, you need a wire from the cluster ground to a good solid body ground. It's a good idea to add that wire to the stock cluster anyway, otherwise the cluster may become intermittent.

Is that right? Also, while you have the cluster out it is a good time to consider having that ammeter gauge converted to a dc gauge. Thanks, Gary H.-------Original Message------- From: Michael Phelps Hello all. I'm trying to hook up my instrument panel during the rewiring process. I'm using the EZwire kit. I have everything connected but I'm not sure about grounding the panel. Is it grounded through the mounting screws to the dash? I'm running power through it but I'm only seeing any current using a test light that's grounded to the dash. I have the instrument power connected to one side of the temp gauge and one side of the oil pressure warning light and gas gauge. I know I need to run power through the ammeter but that can come later correct? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. 65 Belvedere II Convertible.
