Re: Ammeter Shows No Charge

Next morning I found I’d installed the battery backwards. Replaced the 8v with six. Everything is good excepted both the ammeter and a new replacement shows discharge but no charge even though my multimeter shows a charge at both the generator and battery. Inspection of wires behind the dash, in the junction box and engine compartment shows no issues. What am I missing?
