You said you didn't notice a problem til you came back from the alignment shop.
Otherwise, you'll have to find someone who's familar with AAW's system. I used M&H, which is a high grade duplicate of factory stock wiring.
I am the one that did the resto and I installed the wire harnesses. When I swapped my ammeter gauge to a battery voltage gauge there is a wire going from the temp gauge to power the battery. Other than that the back of the instrument cluster is factory original. I haven't had a chance to really look at it. The truck is at my parents house 30 minutes away and with my current work schedule I just haven't had time.
