Trying to wire in a meter to key switch and while using a multimeter with negative probe on battery neg. I am reading -8 for voltage on one wire and 1. On the other. Any idea whats going on? Its a 48v Yamaha YDRE all batteries are reading the correct voltage when tested directly.

So I was reading 4.8v when I went from battery neg to switch on my '21 AC cart. I was wiring a DC converter to get 12v so i wired directly to the solenoid.

You cannot use the ignition switch for a voltage reducer . if you will remove top of dash there is usually a two wire harness taped to the main harness that will have 48 volts. Or if there is a factory converter installed it will have 12 volts. Other than that i just hook the aftermarket converters to the battery pack. They do not run pack dead unless you let it sit for months with out charging.
