Re: [Chrysler300] Bouncy Amp Gauge

["rob kern" <robkern@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello folks!
    Jeff Carter may recommend to you to use vacuum pump oil on the pivot of the ammeter gauge.  He states that the gauge is not defective but there needs to be a lubricant present on the pivot shaft that gives a little resistance ( less friction reduction, not to be confused with electrical resistance) to keep the needle from bouncing around.  He suggested this remedy for my ammeter gauge.  I will be sending the gauge cluster to him in a few weeks to have cosmetic refurbishing performed and at that time he will apply the vacuum pump oil to my gauge. Vacuum pump oil is used frequently in biomedical instrumentation.  He discovered it when he was working in the lab at Univ. of WA.  300'ly,  ROB KERN

  Defect in the gauge. Have seen it before. Not enough pressure on the pivot
  to dampen the gauge fluctuations.

  Forwarding this to the list for additional input. Any other thoughts as to
  why the gauge bounces even after a switch to a solid state regulator?
  Intermittent alternator output maybe? Worn Brush?

  I have replaced mine with one of John's voltage regulators. No difference.
  I again replaced it later in time because I thought the voltage regulator
  was overcharging the battery. Again no difference. The needle still
  bounces around just like the points voltage regulator.
