Is the volt meter repairable? I know I'm getting voltage on mine. I could read it with my DMM.
Analog meter always reads 9V. I can move it by hand but goes back to 9V

Typically voltmeters measure system voltage, either battery voltage or charging voltage. Unless you have high resistance at the meter connections, you should be reading battery voltage or alternator charging voltage. If you are having problems with dim lights or no starts, I would suspect that the voltmeter is faulty. If your DVM is reading 12 volts on the battery and 14.5 volts with the engine running, and 9 volts on the vehicle voltmeter, you have a problem with the volt meter. What do you mean you can move it by hand?
