Re: 23 series battery gauge problem

Still having problems with the electrical. I am wondering if I removed the leads off the GA side of the ignition switch, reconnected the battery and tested each line with a test light if that would show the short on that circuit?

Would this stop the ammeter circuit breaker from cycling from discharge back to neutral position?

Am I going to cause more damage?

Did find the right front parking light has a bad ground.

Other problems I found some bare wires in places and corrected those problems.

Haven't worked on the horn yet do to the ammeter problem.

Should mention that a previous owner(s)(I'm the 7th) painted the car and a lot of the wires that were not taped up are now green (a few blue/gray like the engine). There are some red plastic coated wire I think the last owner replaced to get the car running.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
B
