Default Ammeter on charger works backward

Looked at my neighbor's powerdrive3 charger when he plugged it in today. The needle on the ammeter goes the wrong way when the charger starts. The charger hums as if it is charging but the meter is wrong. He insists that it charges fine. How do I fix the meter so it works right? What causes this?

It's not charging fine. It's a bad rectifier or diode board. Is it a model 26560 or 26580?

David,
I am not sure on the model #. I will check when I get near. I didn't think it was charging right. Thanks.

Or there is a really bad battery, but I would think you would have stated the cart does not run
