You need a ground and a voltage source. You don't want to use the
clock's power,
as it's continuous. The voltmeter will wear your battery down. I just
ran a wire
from a switched terminal of the fusebox.
I did this a couple of years ago, and the voltmeter was showing
15volts at speed,
which disturbed me. But I never found anything to explain it.
I put the clock back in.
Last month, the alternator went out on me. Hmm. Could be.
