Also, the high beam switch on the turn signal stalk doesn't work or something doesn't work to change from high to low beam. Any idea where to start looking to fix that?

I’ve also managed to somehow wire the amp meter backwards. When it’s drawing it goes to positive and when it fires for that second it goes to negative. Is just swapping the leads good to fix that?

Easiest thing first. Just reverse the leads to the ammeter.

What kind of ignition system are you using? If you are using the ballast resistor, check the voltage at the side of the resistor with two wires. You will have 8V with the ignition on and 12V when cranking (theoretically...).

Does your flasher relay have a plastic case? If so, there were a pile of defective ones which I will replace.

Our Troubleshooting Guide has some more hints too.
