I recently helped dad put a 12 volt conversion kit on his M. I went over things several times to make sure it was kooked up correctly. Dad cranked it over for a few seconds and all was good. It didn't start because the fuel had been drained, we just wanted to se if it would crank. A couple seconds passed and dad went to crank it again and nothing happened. Then I smelled something hot and dad cut the ignition switch right a way. It was the resistor that got hot and was smoking slightly. Thinking back, I think the ammeter may be wired backwards but that shouldn't matter right? Also we have nothing hooked up to the 1 & 2 post on the 10SI alternator, just to the battery terminal. Do I need battery power hooked to the #2 post? Otherwise I am confident everything else is hooked up correcly, so what could be wrong??
