My meter reads just under 12 volts when the engine is running. When I turn on any of the lights it pegs to the left. When I use a multimeter on the battery I get 13.67 volts at idle and just slightly under that when the lights go on.
Any ideas? |

Pull the leads of the gauge and put a real volt/ohm meter and see what you get.
