Ok thanks…I just did a continuity test with and I’m getting continuity between the two terminals…I don’t know if that’s bad or good…


I politely suggest you review what an ammeter even is and how it's wired into the car's electrical system, if the answer is not obvious.

I ran wires from both terminals and tested on battery ..there is a little spark at battery but no movement at needle..


I wouldn't do this as you can damage your ammeter or the battery, though if you just tapped it briefly it's probably fine.

To me it just sounds like the needle is stuck. I would remove it an do a careful mechanical inspection.
