I just want to make REALLY sure I have this right, I've confused myself, and I have some questions. I've pored over the FSM, searched this board and others, and I am still confused. Can someone complete this table for me?

This is a good resource for the gauges portion of it: https://jeepfan.com/tech/understanding-and-troubleshooting-jeep-cj-gauges-and-senders/

Do NOT hook it to power without grounding first!!! The smoke will escape.

I'm more of a visual guy....I need diagrams or photos.

Edit: i researched and it looks like early clusters are 6 volt, and into the 60's they turned into 12v. So, disregard this post, thanks.

Hopefully I don't hijack the thread, but do the instructions above work for early cj5's too? My 1957 i think had 6v guages, but didn't know if newer ones used a resistor to drop the voltage down

1. 12 volt power
2. Do not touch.
3. Sender
11. Sender
12. DO NOT TOUCH!.
As mentioned above, do not allow power to be turned on without the guage body being grounded.
