resister for the volt meter.

i need 3of them.. anyone, know what they are rated at or whatever you call it im not sure.. thanks

I would also like to get a couple of them if they are found. I replaced my gauge when it was determined that the resistor was bad. When I try to find them, all I get is a blank stare and the old "try the manufacturer" song and dance.

Its a 300 ohm resister. I don't now where you might find the mil spec one, but you can use any 300 ohm resister that you buy at radio shack and tin it to the lugs.

will got to radio shack in the am and post up the part # thanks

Sorry Tn Col, I a truck driver R, please forgive me for not usssing speller checkers. I had did 728 miles yesterday. I wus tired.

heres your sign!!!!!

I wired two 150 ohm resistors to fix the voltmeter in my M1009, worked great, radio shack , cost two bucks.

 

[84cucv1ton]

just got 5 100 ohm from radio shack.. the one here is small and does not have much. 5 for $1.06 part # 271-1108 this is all they had by me. i have the time and want to finish this today so im going to solder three together and get it done.
hope this helps someone

i got 3 100 ohm ready to go in. all three touch with the way i did it. does that matter or not? dont want to blow my meter thanks

 

[84cucv1ton]

well they are on there. now the meter just pegs. put on 3 100 ohm. still got the stock one on there. does that matter? thanks

 

[84cucv1ton]

anyone?

Did you put the resistors in series (terminal, resistor, resistor, resistor, terminal in a chain) or did you put them in parallel (all three between the same two terminals)? If you did the former, you did it right and the total resistance will be about 300 ohms. If you did the latter, you did it wrong and the total resistance will be 33 ohms.

Yes, you have to take the stock one off or the resistance will be lower than spec and the meter will not read correctly.

 

[84cucv1ton]

yes i put the three one like the old one was. i will take off the old one. thanks

 

[Blood_of_Tyrants]

Read carefully. If you put them all in like the old one,(parallel) you did it WRONG. Take out the old one, and put the three in series (terminal, resistor, resistor, resistor, terminal).

If you can't get them to fit, go to online and find an electronic parts distributor and get a 300 ohm resistor. The physical size counts too. The small ones you see at Radio Shack are typically 1/8 watt. If the original is larger than that, the replacements might not be able to handle the load and will burn up.

ok got it my friend thanks

 

[Rustmaster]

is this the ceramic thing on the back on the gauge?

 

[84cucv1ton]

yes, mine is shot

 

[84cucv1ton]

got it done. now i just blew the 10 amp fuse on the very bottom. now the volt gauge does nothing at all.. what a pain this turning out to be
