That's the trouble going non-stock.  VW didn't fit an ammeter for a very
good reason, and you've just found it!  A true dark-sider.  ;-)

That is very good information Keith.
It seems like a warning to check those connections on the ammeter. Be
certain the terminals are clean and fasteners are tight. That will help keep
the amperage down.

But ONE thing did work, the Gas heater!  It's the ONLY thing that doesn't go

thru the Ammeter!  WALLA!  The shunt in the Ammeter has opened up!
 (after

disconnecting the battery!) put both terminals on one stud and Walla!  The

power is back!... developed a high
Resistance, melted the plastic a bit and opened the connection as the stud

started to move around.
