I had some similar problems originally with my car, and the ammeter was the problem. Or should I say the connections to the ammeter. Even though they looked OK when I took a look, it turned out the contacts had become corroded. The nuts were tight and everything, but when I took it all apart and cleaned all the contacts, bolts and nuts things started working fine.
