Volt /Ammeter at odds ??

ammeter never goes to charge side .. at the bulkhead the fuseable link wire from the starter relay looks pretty shabby and slightly melted at the bulkhead. Is that the one that eventually leads to the meter.

Get a factory service manual and trace the wire coming from the battery stud into the interior and to the fuse block first... Then go from there...
