Folks, I’ve been struggling with my ammeter gauge needle bouncing around a lot. In reading this thread, drdoug says, “ But another thought... have your disconnected the battery? If so, make sure that you repolarized the generator.” I installed a battery cutoff switch on the positive red cable to make it a little harder for someone to make off with my truck. I have turned that switch off many many times which is effectively disconnecting the battery. Is this screwing up the polarity of the generator each time, and have I damaged the generator or regulator? I don’t know if it’s related but right now I can’t get my truck to start.
