Always the thermostat...

Bypass the damned ammeter and work backwards. Dollars to donuts though it's the connections at the ammeter.

That's because LEDs don't dim on voltage. You need to do it with PWM. Some of the more expensive bulbs have PWM built in to them but I'd be concerned they all do it consistently at the same rate. As not to end up with bright or dim spots.

Agreed. If it's a resettable circuit breaker, it will trip immediately again if the short hasn't been resolved. A fusible link would take however many seconds to blow again, allowing more time to damage other components.

Just change it to a circuit breaker.

You could also install headlight relays and take the load directly from the battery for the headlights. It takes the load off the ammeter, which will then read incorrectly, but it will function. As a bonus, the head lights will be brighter. I did both bypassed the ammeter and installed relays...

That's why I said if the coil isn't stock. The advice I got from pertronix said since I was running the igniter and flamethrower coil to by-pass the ballast resister.

If the coil isn't stock, or stock replacement, by-pass the ballast resister.

The wire from the horn then Unhook the horn relay.

Still havent pulled the ballast yet eh?

Just adding fuel to the fire about the ballast. Pertronix Flame-Thrower Coil vs Ignition Ballast

Take the ballast out of the circuit if you're running their coil.

I remove the two on either side of the column and just bring mine down an inch or two.

You just have to hold your mouth right.

well thanks for this. It makes me think about my charging situation. I've bypassed the ammeter under the dash and I have relays to the battery to most of the high load things like headlights. My concern now I guess is going to be the electric fans. They pull over 25 amps continuous and spike...

For what?

Anything that fits the early mid 90's dakotas with the magnum engine is all you need. Don't need to spend more than what you'll find at the local parts store.

this is what I used under the hood. Looks really good. And it's a great price. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KGHHTY5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Two screws on the lens, remove those, then pull the lens. Push the bulb into the socket towards the back of the car, twist the bulb to the left (counter or anti clockwise depending on where you reside). To insert new bulb, the exact opposite.

Do it and dont look back. I haven't had any trouble with mine just be sure to bypass the ballast if you use an aftermarket coil.
