First, I'd check to make sure you have good ground. That is to say, a secure/clean contact from:
-rear gauge retaining bracket to gauge panel contact upon all gauges
-the gauge panel to the dash via "dzus" fasteners.
-the dash panel to the cowl mounting of the tub. _________________ Always Looking for M170 Parts and bits |

Have you worked through the troubleshooting process described here: http://willysmjeeps.com/downloads/instruments.pdf ? That info is as good or better than somebody trying to help you over the phone. _________________ Jim McKim

Then there's not much more anyone can add to that complete troubleshooting guide. You have probably not covered every step correctly and the only way to sort that out is to go thru the checklist one item at a time in order with you. This would work best with you and a friend familiar with the systems and the check list being together at your jeep.
Or you could post one step at a time here and explain how you performed that step and what result you attained. _________________ Wes K

Since this is a "Help each other learn" kinda web site, we should also share the resolution to our problem with the group.
I will take an educated stab at what your solution was. No power to the gauges on wire #27. The first clue was the problem only effected the three electric gauges powered by wire #27. The amp meter is powered by wires 8 & 9. So I will guess the vendor sold you a very late model ignition switch with the 4 rubber Packard connectors on it and failed to direct you to the proper connections for each of the 4 terminals?
