Using a Vans 40 amp ammeter. If I don't want to power the internal light, do I still need to hook up both the power and the ground terminal on the back of the gauge?

I thought the power/ground terminals were just for the light, but my ammeter does not appear to be working so I'm wondering if I need to wire the power and ground terminals?

The gauge documentation is somewhat unclear, but it does say under trouble shooting to check the power and ground....

TIA

Yes the gauge needs power/grd to operate.

Oh ****! Well that simplifies the trouble shooting.

Thanks for taking the time to answer.
