    Volt meter wrong and batteries die

    What are the voltages doing WHILE you are pushing the start button. My guess is that the 12V is probably going away when y0u load the circuit by pushing the start button. If so you need to start sampling the voltage along the pathway back toward the batteries until you find where the voltage...

    Volt meter wrong and batteries die

    Well of course they go somewhere but since the meter is in question the best place is at the meter. The dash isn't so bad once you tilt and extend the steering column. cb77 and cb83 feed the 12/24V meter switch...

    Volt meter wrong and batteries die

    Thats not much draw. A corroded connector or module could perhaps provide a current path and cause more drain when wet? Looking at the A1 schematic the troop heater wiring bypasses the cutoff switch also so a circuit being created there could also drain the batteries. Or lastly did it...

    Volt meter wrong and batteries die

    Yea, I got that the alt was charging ok at the batts, measuring good voltage there and bad at the panel meter = bad meter or bad wiring. What I was getting at was depending on how yours is wired, the alt could be responsible for the drain. does yours have a manual disconnect switch and was it...

    Volt meter wrong and batteries die

    Well a bad 12V meter shouldn't have drained the batts. Meter performance could be a case of garbage in-garbage out. Have you connected a multimeter at the panel meter? It sounds as if y0u have a wiring issue somewhere or a failed component such as a polarity box or even an alternator, causing...
