Changing the resistor is the cheapest way to go. For a couple of dollars and 30 minutes in labor its a quick fix.

Yes, left the old resistor there, so no contact against the case. Wish I had managed to source an original OEM resistor. Yes that's right.. a used resistor.

I can tell its off by where the needle sits at key on and where its at when Glowing.

Finally installed the new resistor. Works..but it reads too high. When its running its right of the tick mark, under the E of GEN. Is the 300 ohm value correct for this application? I checked the resistor code, its 300 but the tolerance band is gold, which is 5%. Could this be the issue?

Going by the 1/2 w rating on other threads. I picked up some 300 Ohm 1 watt resistors. I see that you said do not go lower than 2. Why is that?

So I read someone used 2 150 ohm 1/2 w resistors. So, its not 5 w its .5 w? Or it doesn't matter - bigger is better?

Hey.. practically everything on my truck is used..man. So, did some reading here, seems that I could use a 5 w 300 ohm resistor. If one were to use 2 x 150 ohm resistors, are they still 5 w each and are they installed parallel or in series?

Happened first time about 7 years ago, changed out the relay, still nothing. A local CUCV guy sent me a used resistor that sits on the back of voltmeter. Worked until the other day. Does anyone have a working resistor kicking about that they could spare?
