I have a Hughes 269A with the 24 volt system. The ammeter shorted out and caused an open in the circuit board on the instrument cluster itself. The maintenance manual shows a "shunt wire" on the ammeter, however I am unable to locate any other information about it.
It is obvious that a shunt should be there to protect the instrument cluster, however I have no idea where it is physically located, nor can I find any part number listing for a replacement.
Need some help keeping the magic smoke in the cluster!
