The ammeter appears to function normally - showing a positive flow after startup and gradually moving to zero as the drive progresses. When I turn on the lights and fan, while the engine is running,though, there is only a very small deflection in the gauge. Before this problem started, there would be a more noticeable deflection with a gradual return towards zero.
The car starts, runs and restarts perfectly hot or cold as long as the battery is fully charged. The battery retains its charge if the car sits unused but it discharges in a few days of normal driving and use - while the car is running.
Here is a partial schematic of my wiring harness I drew up trying to sort out a previous issue:
QUESTION: Can I bypass the ammeter by simply connecting up the heavy feed wire (27) to the 25, 39 and 41 wires?
