this is my second ammeter first one basically the needle flopped back and forth like it is not attached. called mikes A fordable customer service and they sent me a replacement hooked that up and, needle moves just a little off zero but only when hit the horn, when I start it slightly budges but very little, hit the head lights same thing. I'm thinking it's bad also, but don't know, I don't want to make a big stink about it and, I know that they a cheep little things, are there better ones out there and from who? or
am I maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree? I have a six volt optima battery and a fun projects cutout /evr. in my A and almost always shows 6.0 to 6.2 volts. is it possible that it is not drawing enough to show on the ammeter? or is it bad.
