Factory amp gauge will NOT work with a one wire alt.It will hover just past midline but it is not working.

I had a one wire and thought my amp gauge was working untill I went back to the 3 wire factory alt.

Now my amp gauge give me accurate readings.

It has to do with the 2 black wire(the one's with the 4amp fuses).One wire take a reading from the alt and one from the battery.The differance in those two readings will give you either a charge or discharge reading ot the amp gauge.

With a one wire alt the only reading your getting is the one at the battery.
