Alternators Rebuilt

[Gregory OConnor]

My 94Pt has the same symptoms. center position reads but either side
has no reading. I have no idea if my alts put out other then I have
full 13+v on the 11 batteries when I stop. It would be a nice option
to have working proper.

Inverter camping this weekend in the desert, I noticed the leg one
and two volts and amp gauges have no reading at all????. Is it normal
for a 94'ishPt to have the inverter power not show up on the gauges?
