I think I'm getting closer to resolving this issue! At least I've figured out that bypassing the bulkhead fixes the issue!....
I'm about to check under the dash like you said!
Your issue is somewhere between the two ends of the bypass wire
Likely a connection. and IMO 14.9 is still too high.
if not previously mentioned the Ammeter terminal nuts are notorious for coming loose. DO Disconnect the battery while checking them
Between the two ends of the bypass wire? Wouldn't that mean the problem is the bypass wire??
I know what you mean!
Funny you mention the ammeter because it's never worked since I've had the van and then recently, during this latest issue, I've noticed movement of the needle!
I'll check that out, thanks!
