... 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.

That gauge will read the best with a direct hook up at the battery....but WILL draw it down if left for more than a few days.
You will get a slightly less accurate read if hooked thru a ignition switched terminal on your fuse box....but no draw down on the battery from an always powered gauge.... 12.5 rest FULLY CHARGED 12.5-13v at idle 13.5-14.0v at 2500 rpms |
