Hi Trevor,
I have never understood how this thing works.
Is it like the flasher of the turn signals, wherin the current heats a
spring that pops open the contacts, then closes them as it cools? I have
never heard it operate, unlike the flasher.
If so, what sort of open/close rate would it have in order that the
gauges do not leap up and down on their scales? Over what period of time
does the thing average the voltage?
