Fusible link melted!

If you want a cheap, simple voltmeter, you can get a small LCD that plugs in the cigarette lighter for ~$15 on Amazon or ebay. I use an Eqquis one in my newer cars that don't have a charging indicator. One would look nice in my 64 since it has the lighter on the dash.

I find cheap tools are just that - CHEAP - and they usually fail when you need them the most.
