Ammeter to Voltmeter...who does it?
Nope, it's just two wires with a connector. No idea why they have it like that, but the factory must have had a reason.
I think I'm misunderstanding you. How can it be hot but have no flow. What I understand as "hot" means that, when you put a test light on it, it lights up or, when you put a voltmeter on it, you get a reading. With the key out of the ignition, when I put my voltmeter on the bulkhead 10ga. red wire inside the cab, the one that connects to the fusible link, I get 12.85V. When I put it on the 10ga. black wire inside the cab, the one that connects to the alternator, I get 12.72V. This tells me that it's all hot, that there is current passing through those wires, as well as current passing through the ammeter.
So here's a pic of the back of the Power Distribution Center....the ammeter is pictured with the brass attaching clip. The white wire from it is connected to the other white wire, which goes to the panel light, and a green wire, which connects to a buss bar. The Charger/Converter green wire goes to the buss bar as well, as does the Coach/House battery.
