VAC Test Findings

Trevor,
I have done the tests and these are the results:

AC READINGS without any dash lights on

Battery terminals with engine OFF = 0 VAC
Battery terminals with engine ON = .042 VAC


AC READINGS with the dash lights ON

Battery terminals with engine ON = .018 VAC

I have checked all the readings over and over and these are the accurate numbers.
I’ve also noticed one wire out of three (seen through the alternator slots) that had the insulation cracked open and exposing the bare wire. Could this have anything to do with it?
