The car in question is a 98 Z28. Just wondering if I have a problem with my voltage/battery gauge.

First concern: When car is shut off, needle drops and rests on piece of plastic (gavity factor) that wraps around steering column. Shouldn't the needle rest on zero ???? Am I getting an accurate overall gauge reading if this is occuring

Second concern: My voltage reading hovers around 14. Is this normal??

Thanks

 

the shutting the car off is not a problem. car running and seeing 14 volts compare that to mine only showing 12.2s and 11.9 WOT, now who has a problem?

 

You're in the 1993-1997 forum, but it does not really matter for this question.

The off position of the needle is of no concern. It can be anywhere. Your operating voltage of 14v is in the normal range and like what more people would like to see.
