bench test amp gauge

[r4daytona]

I have my cluster out of my car because of electrical problem I'm trying to figure out.   

How to i bench test my AMP gauge to make sure it's working properly?  Please explain it in laymans terms because I suck at electrical.  Post pictures of how if you feel it may help.  Thank You

Battery and a head light bulb. Run one wire from battery to bulb directly and the other one through the amp meter.

might take more than one headlight to make a significant needle movement on the ammeter gauge

Turn you headlights on without starting the car... see how much that needle moves!

Jus in case... if headlights are relay feeded from the batt, the needle won't move
