Electrical Gauge in red

I've owned my 94 Cherokee Sport for 3 years and the Volt Gauge has read in the red the whole time. I've changed the battery once since then. Everything works for now, is this a warning of something bad to come or just a bad reading?

thinking if it aint broke don't fix it

If you replaced the battery and everything looks good don't jinx it LoL
It could have been the battery or the connections.

Sounds like the only thing broken is the gauge or the sending unit. I'd have it checked out. Your voltmeter can be pretty useful.

Re: Electrical Gauge in red

Is it possible that the voltmeter isn't zeroing and starts at a high reading?

Re: Electrical Gauge in red

To chek it, get a digital volt meter, running compare what the meter reads and what your guage reads. should be around 13-14.5 volts at idle.
