No amps reading on #2 alternator
Ron there should be nothing between your alternator and the amp meter other
then the shunt. When the current from the alternator passes thru the shunt
it produces a very low voltage drop across it proportional to the current
and its this voltage that is read by your dash amp meter. I suspect you may
have a wire off at the shunt or a bad connection(wire) between the chassis
and the dash. What year is your coach?
