Question Help Please!

Where should my amp guage be reading? I changed the two fuses by the firewall and guage barely moves. The needle is just around the second mark from the bottom on the left side of the guage. Does this sound right and should it move when the truck is running?

THANKS!

Your truck wont charge much, if you don't drain the battery much. Under most conditions, mine barely moves to the charge side. If your truck isn't running and you flip on your blower motor and lights to make a good drain, it should show a discharge. Doing that, mine moves about a 1/4 to the left of center.

As for when my truck is running. Mine jiggles around a bit.
