[Mike Phelps <mikeph@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The idea to use a charger to test the gauges was from an article in Mopar Muscle a couple years ago. It was a step by step article on refurbishing an instrument cluster. It won't tell you if there accurate, just if they work. 
BTW. The instruments turned out great.
