I just replaced my wiring, I thought I followed Bob's diagram, but must have made a mistake. When I turn the lights on the Ampmeter says charge' not discharge? Also when I pull out the on off button the ampmeter gauge does not move.
Thanks for any help

Jerry - that's an easy fix: Find the wire running from one an ammeter post to the "hot" side of the ignition switch. Relocate the ammeter end of the wire to the opposite ammeter post.

This should get your ammeter working correctly!
 
I would disagree with that. My Hs and Ms always show a bit of a discharge on the ampmeter when you pull on the coil switch regardless of the points being open or closed.

Do you have an alternator on your H or M?

An H or M originally would have no other draw on the electrical system going through the switch other than the coil. The points are merely another switch in the wiring circuit. Unless there is a short some where there will be no draw on the circuit except when the points are closed.
 
Thanks guys, everything is working right now. I reversed the ampmeter wires. after i started the tractor the next time and turned it off, and then pulled the switched it showed discharge.
