After many months of fighting with my stock oil pressure gauge I decided to replace it with a mechanical unit. I decided on the AutoMeter Z series, and installed both oil pressure and voltmeter.
The gauges went in with no difficulty, and both function well EXCEPT, when I switch on my parking or headlights the voltmeter falls to zero.
I checked my wiring (Yellow to "I" and black to ground) the light wiring was connected to the orange instrument light wires and grounded to the panel.
I checked for shorts and found none. The headlights work at full brightness.
Anyone have a starting point?
