tripanfal Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 <p>I recently replaced a chunk of corroded wire to get a meter working. I didn't have any wire the same gauge so I used a piece of heavier wire. The meter jumped to life but is pinned no matter the setting. Would a higher gauge wire cause this?<br> <br />Thanks!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User_5050610 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 <p>Christopher--I am pretty sure the gauge would not matter--sounds as if there is a short somewhere.<br> Good luck!<br> Paul</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick_van_Nooij Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 <p>Heh, bought a Soligor UF meter last sunday at a flea market for a whopping 2 Euro.<br />Unfortunately it's not working either. <br /><br />I couldn't get the needle to jump by bypassing the sensor. So need to check the wiring some more. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_simpson1 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 <p>No, the gauge of wire wouldn't have any effect on the meter. Check for shorts (wire to camera body)?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
