Still trying to finish up the neighbors 350 Rancher. It has had a battery drain and yesterday I hooked up a test light (between – on battery and – battery wire) and started unplugging things and when I unplugged the meter the test light went out.

Meter is trashed and busted when he bought it. I’ve converted it to a footshift machine, and it shifts fine with the foot shifter, but I’m not sure if a new meter will work with this configuration. That said, if the current meter is going to kill the battery, I don’t know that he will have much choice except to buy another meter.

Will this thing work with the meter unplugged? I guess I can try it. Trying to crank it with the meter unplugged won’t fry the ECU or other electrical components will it?
