I am measuring the voltage drop between the output of the voltage rectifier/regulator, and the positive battery post. I'm doing this because my digital voltmeter reads only 13.6volts when cruising.
I stick a needle into the back of the connector (red wire) that connects to the voltage r/r, and put my positive lead there, and then put my negative lead on the positive battery terminal. What kind of voltage drop should I get between these two points?
As best I can tell, the wire from the r/r goes to the main fuse holder, through that 50 amp fuse, then out and travels rearward along the bottom of the battery cable, where it joins the battery cable immediately before the starter relay. So there should be nothing in the way of connections between the two points that I'm measuring.
So...what should be the voltage drop between these two points?
