The Dodge Challenger Message Board

Does anybody know if after removing dash pad (all the switches and gauges are disconected) it is normal that car electric system does not work. I have finished yesterday removing my dash pad (and it was late night) and what was my suprise after that none electrical thing was working, even a single light/ I must write that i have unplugged the power cable during disconetcting so i could not make and fuses go down. I still have to drive my car in and out my garage so i would like to get back to working condition.
PS. Forgive me if I missed somewhere similar topic on this forum

All the electrical power from the alternator goes through the ammeter gauge. So if you have disconnected that nothing will work.

Sorry for my english, you mean charging gauge ? In that case can i simply join this two wires together without tha gauge ??

Yes but be carefull. You don't want any electrical fires.
