Default AMP Meter is not working, HELP

Hello,

My amp meter on my 1974 isn't working. I bought a new meter and replaced the one in my car and it still doesn't work. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas how I can begin to troubleshoot this problem.

Thanks for your help

Tom

Check the connections at the horn relay. Could be a bad connection here. Also while at the horn relay check to see if you have continuity across the fusible link. Both are easy to check.

It should be on the drivers side inner fender near the top, just under the fender lip. Anyone got a pic of the horn relay to show Tom the location?

There's a picture of a horn relay if you scroll down a bit, labeled "horn relay". It's not on a Corvette, but they pretty much look the same.
