Frank,
If I sounded critical, I certainly did not mean to be. There are so many different levels of expertise here, it's hard to know where to start with someone. You made two statements which I was trying to respond to.

1. "Is just swapping the leads good to fix that?"
and
2. "I'm not an electrical guy but I'll do my best to understand."

Re #1. You said in a later post that you were working from a wiring harness which may have been apparent to Bob but not the rest of us, so reversing the wires is probably the best solution on the ammeter.

Re #2. Hooking up wires according to a wiring diagram or labeled or color coded leads is one thing that most can do. Understanding the circuits is another and we all have different levels of expertise. Knowing that level is hard to ascertain from 1 post but you did say what you said.

If I came across as talking down to you, that was definitely not my intent and I apologize for not choosing clearer language; just trying to be helpful.

Good luck with your build.
