The control box is mounted on a fiberglass foot box which is terrible at conductivity! AJ
Just to be sure I've got this - I don't connect anything to the I terminal? And the ammeter is connected between the battery output from the alternator and the battery positive (solenoid connection)?

Sorry to repeat - I've had engine bay fires before, and I don't want another!

Thanks,
Roger
