What is normal voltage drop when you turn on the lights? I’m just going off the volt meter, but I start at about 14.2 driving around, when I pull on even the first notch of the light switch I’ll drop to less than 13. Is it a ground issue? I understand that this a rather common. Thanks. Dave

Ignore it. The voltmeter in the console of a 914 is about as accurate as a shotgun loaded with gravel. Use it as a general guide, not a precise instrument. If it starts trending downward, then worry.
