Weird ghost in the dash instruments after rebuild

[BigRAWesty]

I reckon you should fit a new battery before pulling out the dash again, or at least put the the good (assuming it is good) aux in as the crank battery. At least that way you would be able to take one known quantity out of the equation.

Cuppa

Yea, same old issue this time of year. Lack of $$$...
I'll be bolting the aux battery in for the mean time.

The only wires I changed between working and not were the rear speaker wires. I've removed them from rear doors and put them in the middle doors.

Is it possible Kallen, that you have inadvertently created another circuit in conflict with the original?

Not sure how as I removed the old wire and attached the New.
Rear speakers work fine so I think that's no the issue..
But, Maybe. I hope not lol.

Also alternator is making 13.78v at 1000ish rpm..

Have pulled dash apart, no loose wires, all visible earths are solid..
Also stuck buzzer On all earth wires in plugs to body and all showed 2 ohms.

Try subsitute the aux (good) battery for the (dud) starter and see if your dash problems go away like a holden factory !!.
opps, see you already are trying that, how did it go?.

Hey, Kallen, are you still having probs with your Q? I am hoping to get to The Mount, to see The Hobbit in the next few days. I could spend a few hours and try and do a bit of trouble shooting on the electrics, with you.

Why o why did I leave it out...

So now the million dollar question..
Does it matter which ones I connect it to??

[mudnut]

Black wire with a white stripe behind the cluster? Or is it just black, which according to the wiring diagrams, is an earth?
