BTW, David, it's not that difficult to feel behind the dash and undo the nut
that holds the ammeter in place.
Disconnect the battery first, then undo and remove the nut, lockwasher and
bracket. Then you can pull the ammeter forward with the wires still
attached. If you are brave, you can even leave it hanging on the wires
(making absolutely certain the terminals cannot touch the metal of the
panel), while you reconnect the battery and make whatever tests you need.
Some tape on the edge of the hole might be a good idea.
Much easier IMO than trying to lay underneath and see what's going on,
especially with the heater installed.
Re-installation is a bit trickier, but still possible. But don't forget to
disconnect the battery ground strap while you do it.
