Ok here we go..just put my meter on the battery engine running and off...meter is an Ideal...nice 100 dollar meter...

running w/ no extra loads reads 14.8...killed the eng and batt reads 13.2....running with brights,wipers,turn sigs ect batt reads 15.05! wth?...couldn't get my heater blower to work until I sent it a direct test feed from the batt...with the blower switch on reads hot at the feeder lead to the blower but plugged back in it won't run the blower?...there is all kinds of creative splicing/wiring under the dash...colored spagetti...DOH!...

this old truck has many issues... smile
