My dad has a 1929 A I am trying to get the Dash light to work.It is new is wired according toe the wiring diagram and doesn't light Does the dash bezel need a good ground for the light to work. Repop ammeter doesn't seem to work is the a way to test that with a multi meter to see ammeter is good or bad Thanks Jim
 
Repro stuff doesn't always work. You know you have to push the dash light cover in and turn it slightly clockwise to turn it on, right?
 
I have not wired as per the wiring diagram. On both my cars I wired the light, and the light in my temp. gauge, to the parking light pole in the switch at the bottom of the steering column and keep the dash light in it's on position. Doing this, it helps to prevent the accidental leaving the light on and draining the battery when you park.
 
the bulb is good and twist and turn work perfect thanks for replies I am going to check ground
 
I was able to work on the dash light today .I found no power to ammeter. We checked wires at terminals on fire wall and that was wired wrong fix that and now light and ammeter work . thanks for the help and replies
