Hi guys. I'm fitting an ammeter guage. The instructions with guage said to connect one wire to the large starter solenoid connection and the other wire to the wire from the small starter solenoid connection and insulate them. I did that, but then the starter won't work as there is no connection to activate it.

A guy from work said to remove the insulation and put the two connected wires back onto the small terminal on the starter solenoid. I tried that, but when I reconnected the battery the starter continuously cranked as I had effectively hotwired it.

Any ideas on how to get this guage to work, please?
