I always feel like a real dufus presenting my latest problem as I always seem to first struggle with even the simplist problems.....
The wiring on my resister block has been coming loose. Specifically the three wires on the bottom. So I thought I would take off the nut, replace the screw and nut and make it better. Well I did that and the damn thing started smoking. Specifically, the yellow wire going to the ammeter. I have no idea what shorted as I didn't think I did anything differently from what was there. I did take the block off and (but not the other wires) and screwed it back on after attaching the three wires back. So now I have a melted yellow wire and, what's worse, an ammeter that is now showing zero, I mean the guage is all the way to the left as far as it will go. I'm assuming it is burned out?
Here is a picture I took before "fixing" it. If anyone can give me some help here I would appreciate it.
Here is the link if that does not work:
