Scott, the abnormal indications are as follows --
With everything connected up,when I select the battery switch On , the ammeter indicates +35amps. !! ie a charge of 35 amps even though the engine and alternator are stopped. I reversed the wires at the shunt but the indication remains the same.
Yesterday I ran the engine with the alternator connected and its output seemed normal ie 14.8 V .
I am now awaiting the new ammeter from Vans to see if that solves the amps indicating problem.
All in all I think I got off very lightly for what was potentially a very big mistake
all the best
Mike
