When you troubleshoot your problem, keep in mind that the ammeter shows how much current is flowing through it. It could be high, as was previously noted, because the alternator/voltage regulator is pushing too much current into the battery. It could also be high because something is drawing too much current (e.g., a short circuit). Most of the circuits that could draw such a load will have fuses or circuit breakers to protect them. But if the problem is in a wire or device that is not protected, you have the potential for starting a fire or melting your wiring.
