Hey Supercuda - the gauge is connected to voltage once Key turns on. a separate wire feeds the limiter to the gauges. Before the hard start and low reading issue, the gauge read steady - but I admit that I never checked the voltage when I thought the system was operating correctly.
The needle never pulsed before this whole issue..... When I fist did the wiring, I had the needle pulse and swapped alternators. Now I wonder if there was an issue with the swapped in alt......
I'll check my connections at the starter relay this weekend and get the volt reading from the regulator. I would think I can check those readings at the field terminals on the alt since the wires connect?
