Hi folks, make sure that if you fit one of these types of meters, that they are either an LCD type with a MANUALLY selected BACKLIGHT, or if you use an LED type that it turns off when the motor is not running and/or has a push button control.
These devices can chew quite a bit of power if they are lite up with the motor off.
Tried to test the voltmeter's current draw with an ampclamp but couldn't get consistent results.Quote:

Ampclamp seems to work just fine.
Checked the battery negative and one of the fuses:

What am I missing with this circuit?
