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

I took mine out, I hated it so much. The light on the dash gives you what you need to know. Edit: and then, when you have big feet like me and you accidentally knock out the fuse, but don't notice the dead voltmeter until you're well away from home at night in the rain, and you panic and get all wet only to figure out it was just the fuse...out you go. |
