RE: [DML] alternator/volt gauge/a short....what's the score here

Dani,
The ground problem ( black wire ) or the hot wire problem ( red ) could be
any where. It would take a while to go thru and check all them but the first
place would be from battery cables to the ground on the frame ( chassis )
and battery cable red ( hot ) to connector on the right rear pontoon in
front of the water bottle. Then check the cables going to and from the
starter solenoid. They could be just loose or dirty.
Run an extra ground wire from the ground post on the battery to the engine
block and then to a metal screw or something to the alternator and see what
happens. Be sure for safety to unhook the battery when cleaning & moving
cables around.
