Pull your headlight switch on and you should see the needle drop
about to the middle of the negative side. The starter won't
show a big drop but when the engine fires up you should see a
pretty sharp rise toward the positive side for a few minutes.
It's possible that you have some poor connections due to
corrosion also so I'd check them before considering a new
gauge.
