Maybe I was not clear on my details.

With the engine running and using a Fluke meter I get 8.00 volts going into the cutout and only 6.5 volts coming out of the cutout. (actually the 6.5 volts is just what the battery is providing)

That seems to me that the cutout is not letting current go through the cutout.

Can I bypass the cutout with a jumper wire to test the ammeter?
