I could use some wiring help as I'm not sure why I melted my cable when pulling light switch.
I have a 12v battery that was not hooked up to the generator. I added a 12v regulator. I swapped to negative ground at the same time. I polarized generator by jumping A to BAT briefly.
- I have A from generator to A under the regulator.
- I have F from generator to FLD on the regulator.
- I have BAT from regulator running to ammeter.
- I have L from regulator running to light switch.
Behind dash, all left/right are from perspective of driver:
- I have BAT to ammerter on left, and from right ammeter connection a wire going to + on battery.
- I have L to switch on left, and on the right wires going to the lights.
- There is a black fused wire on switch connected higher up right side and going to, I think, right side of ammeter.
After all this was wired up, I pulled light switch and wire coming from L (yellow in photo) immediately started smoking and melted insulation. Lights work though.
Please help. This is not my forte.
