  • Automobile gauge repair
    Patent number: 5132611
    Abstract: A defective automobile gauge is repaired by placing a resistance across the back of the gauge. At least 95% of the automobile gauges which fail do so because the regular resistance shunt has opened. The regular resistance shunt is mounted upon a ceramic plate that is necessary for the structural support of the galvanometer of the gauge. Therefore, the ceramic plate with the defective resistance remains in place and additional resistance is attached in parallel with the defective resistance.
