Yes the wiring to the counsel is probably too light. Is the 11 on the dash wired to the fuse block? If so wire directly to the battery. Big units should always go direct. Reduces interference issues and voltage problems like it sounds your having. Even if your battery is going out, and I. Would have it load tested, they do it free at most auto stores, I would still wire direct.
I reread the question and missed that you switched the units and not the wires, sorry. If you're going to do it right and rewire both to the crank like Plunker recommends, you might as well add an on/off switch and fuse them separately at the helm for convenience and access. Good call on just getting the battery tested! |
