+ terminal from battery, - terminal to gen/voltage reg. Some items are attached to the batt side and are not read by the meter.
The + and - is "voltage polarity". It's all positive, not ground type negative to positive.
If no markings on meter, hook it up and with motor OFF, turn on lights. If meter does not read in the neg direction, reverse wires.


Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. - William Penn
