I do not care if your alternator puts out a billion amps at idle, it will show a + on the ammeter wired like that. yeap, definitelly, that's because the power will go through the ammeter, without NEED for that if you hook it correctly to alt stud. But need a GOOD alt to source it from there and not require power from batt, getting the ammeter in play reading discharge, no matter if alt is still working, but not enough With a Charger born in Chrysler assembly plant in Valencia, Venezuela

I will then test drive the car to see if the ammeter changes. I have a feeling that this issue is with the two O2 sensors though. If I remember correctly, my idle ammeter readings started acting funny after I wired in the second unit. I already have a 30a fuse to protect the two sensors per FAST. So swapping the main feed will be quick. My MSD5 unit only pulls .7a per 1000rpms, so I assume that this is not the issue. Thanks again.
