gf is sittin in the truck, key turned no engine. i have her hold down the brakes. I flip the 4pin side open (got the 4pin/7pin on the truck now). i set the VM to VDC. put my black needle to the "ground" pin, my red needle to 1 of the turn signals = 61.2 that seemed too high. sooo, let me try the other turn signal pin.... 61.5 ok, it seems using a VM is too much for me, or something is crazy goin on w/ my system... i'm just gonna clip the wires, hard wire everything up, and we'll see how that happens cap'n.
I doubt anything is going on with your system with those numbers, otherwise something would of been fried by now. So let's see what happens when you hardware it, or take a picture of the meter face so I can see what you got it set as.
word. i'll send you a txt when the gf gets home of how i am doing it, both tappin the 4pin and setting the VM. i got a cadillac craftsman VM and its pretty "idiot friendly" as my electrician buddy put it. we'll see. i just want the damn thing workin. afraid i'm gonna get my rear end lit up in the mornin will all these tailgaters out now w/ time change.
cool like this one? Sears: Online department store featuring appliances, tools, fitness equipment and more yeah VDC is what you want make sure black is pulled into com and the red is plugged into the one on the right. Press that range button to the correct range.
yup, thats my unit. different color faceplate (last year was dark grey) but same unit. i believe everything is plugged in as you said... however i think i needed to hit the range to get what i was lookin for. you do that PRIOR to testing correct? set range, then black to ground, red to testing pin?
word. i think everything is gonna be right on my pin then, just gotta swap the range to see if i'm gettin 12.0. Thanks brother!
