What is the main cause of a volt gauge showing a negative reading when the car is running?

Valy is correct. If it is a mechanical (d'Arsvonval) meter it will only read negative if it has a zero in the center. If it is digital (say a Fluke 179), and it is reading negative, you have the leads reversed.
