Buggies Gone Wild Golf Cart Forum - View Single Post - 16 volts on Digital meter even with key off

I have a precedent 2014 with ERIC charger. Installed digital volt meter using Scotty’s option 2. Plus goes to blue wire on key switch and minus goes to black yellow wire. I read 16.5 all the time when switch is off then increases to 19 volt depending if charging cable is plugged in when key switch is off. I get correct reading 48 plus volts when key switch is in on position. I though maybe I was getting feed back from my lights but when I disconnected the wire going to the batteries for my lights I still had 16 volts on meter. I do not have a DC to DC converter on this cart. I only use my head lights maybe twice a year, so not really worried about mismatched voltage draw.

Anybody have this problem when installing meter?
