Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I am going to order the inductive meters suggested by Ronbo. I have a feeling it is a dead short as well. I just thought about all of the variables the other evening and I believe there is a positive side of something feeding off of the negative side of the battery and vise versa. I had problems with the Painless wiring harness for the gauge cluster and found out something from them was labeled wrong before; I think I am going to find out what is what and toss the harness in the garbage and rewire from scratch to be sure what is what. I have some minor gauge issues, weak turn signal lamps, a tach that is about 1000 RPM too high on everything, although everything from the MSD 6AL is installed correctly. Even as I type this I am wondering if this all the same problem...The inductive meters should tell me what is happening.

Thanks for the suggestions.
