[Chrysler300] gauge voltage limiter summary

["Bob Merritt" <bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark Lindahl points out that the gauge voltage limiter was in the fuel gauge in 64 so I reviewed the 60-65 manuals and made this summary.

Pre 1960 - no limiter.

1960 - 1962: limiter in fuel gauge case on DeSoto, in the oil pressure gauge case on Chrysler Windsor, Saratoga, New Yorker, and in the temperature gauge on Imperial. 

1963: in fuel gauge on Chryslers, in temperature gauge Imperial.

1964: in fuel gauge Chryslers and Imperial.

1965: in fuel gauge Chryslers and Imperial.

A useful test from the service manual:

Testing the Voltage Limiter in the Vehicle:
A quick test to determine if the voltage limiter is operating is to connect one lead of a voltmeter or test lamp to the temperature sending unit and the other lead to a good ground (leave the sending unit lead wire attached to the sending unit). Turn the ignition switch to the "on" position. A fluctuating voltmeter or flashing lamp indicates the voltage limiter is operating.
