Nevermind. I was over thinking it. Of course I would have 12v when hooking the meter in series. Essentially just used the meter as the batter cable.
I went ahead and hook the negative up to the battery, and have power Woohoo! The marker lights did however stay on (regardless of HL switch position.) I quickly figured I have the turn signal switch wired in correctly. The lights are on all time but will go out if the hazards switch is pulled.
