Re: need help with fuse 20 in power dist box, details below

I forgot to ask where did you get the alternator from?

Some cheap aftermarket's can be bad out of the box and a bad diode in it can cuase you gauges to go wild. Measure AC voltage with a DMM accross the battery terminals when you get the engine to run. If you see any value you might have a bad alternator.
