I am not fully versed on the circuitry of a SPF however unless you are attempting to monitor the voltage in lieu of amperage, you could install a fusable link or a manually resetable circuit breaker in a main leg from the solenoid? ERA circuitry uses a circuit breaker between the 12 V feed from the post on the solenoid and Amp gauge. Last year on the way to the WSCB I discovered a bad voltage regulator (old type with points & coils) that was sticking and when ever the key was shut off the circuit breaker would "Pop", rendering the entire electrical system dead. It was doing its job.
