The truck is still set up the way I bought it . Not planning to change the alternator unless this one craps out. If it did then I would get an internally regulated alternator and not use the VR on the firewal
Is there a way to test the ameter to be sure that it is not functioning as an ammeter ??????
I can move the ammeter needle in any direction I want to with my fingers and it seems to stay there.
I am not opposed to using the ammeter as a "junction bock" .....BUT....
I would like to bypass the ammeter if it still functions as an ammeter.
What would happen if I took the two wires from the "D" side on the ammeter and installed them on the "C" side with the other 3 wires ?
This was suggested by some else previously.
I have the voltmeter hooked up the iginition and a ground as you stated it should be.
