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

Don't trust mine but its sort of an indicator,but being wired off the centre console wiring and dash mounted most likely causing a false reading of 1V low which I have,another job on the list (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) .
