... accuracy of the console voltmeter, but can i tap into the wiring harness with a good DVM and get an accurate reading. by tap into, i just mean connect the leads of a good DVM into the connection terminals. i want to check a possible charging fault.

Connect the DVM across the battery terminals directly if you're looking for a charging fault. Should be 12.5 at rest, 13.5-14.5v engine running at any speed. If you don't get those numbers, start tracing other places, including the regulator, the charging lamp, and fuse 8 (or 9, can't remember which). The problem with the OEM voltmeter isn't so much the meter, but where it's connected into the harness.
